In this case, the situation is a sad oneA tell-tale or telltale is an indicator, signal, or sign that conveys the status of a situation, mechanism, or system.
I don't see how this is a bad thing. They rated it in their own individual capacity. They didn't bribe or pay any reviewers off.
Mountain out of a molehill.
It wouldn't be an issue if they actually gave it a fair score. Giving your own product 10/10 when it's being panned as a piece of shit by most other places is the issue.
It's their opinion. I don't get the big deal. It's the "user score." Some will like it; some will hate it. Generally, if you're reading a review (from whatever source) you don't just read the first one that pops up and take it as gospel. You see why people who loved it, loved it and why people who hated it didn't and determine, using your own brain, whether their feelings about certain things resonates with you.Originally Posted by Graal
Give 'em a break.
They weren't underhanded, they kept it to an informal medium and said their bit.
Again: mountain out of a molehill.
People can be so fucking overzealous and petty about nothing. Bloody armchair activists looking for any reason to get up on their high-horses.
Lycan I think its more of an ethical thing. The game is, according to the reviews i've seen not as good as Back to the Future so them giving it a perfect user score is a bit underhanded.
Granted I am sure there are far worse cloak & dagger type deals going on in the industry thing is they got caught. So yes its a little thing that people are making into a huge thing but in all fairness it is pretty unethical to try and boost your own games ratings in such a way.
I don't see anything unethical about someone who worked on something openly saying that they are happy with it as long as it's via informal means.
Four people who worked on the project gave it 10/10. That's hardly rigging the score.
Also, they didn't "get caught" or try to hide who they were. That's exactly the point:
And even then, even if they all hid their identities I can't see this as a big deal.“Telltale Games do not censor or muzzle its employees in what they post on the internet. However, it is being communicated internally that anyone who posts in an industry forum will acknowledge that they are a Telltale employee. In this instance, two people who were proud of the game they worked on, posted positively on Metacritic under recognizable online forum and XBLA account names.”
If they bribed or paid off a reviewer or if they had a friend in the industry who reviewed it then by all means, cry out about the violation of ethical standards and burn them at the stake for it. But for something like this? Yeeeeeesh... Out of proportion.
This is just how I feel about it. I just think it's such a silly thing to get riled up about. I don't believe they did anything BAD, you know what I mean?
I honestly dont really care, this is such a trivial matter that other that seeing the articles on the sites i frequent I really see the point of it. Was just trying to try and imagine what people consider the big deal.I don't see anything unethical about someone who worked on something openly saying that they are happy with it as long as it's via informal means.

Then we feel the same.
It just grates me cheese that people who would never even touch the game in a billion years, pop over to negatively review this game because that makes them feel like they're "Giving it to the man!"
Faith in humanity dwindles at times like these
Which is why I gave up on the species long ago, that way the only way my faith can go it up....Then we feel the same.
