In this episode, Lucid and Ben are joined by Mark MSX from ‪@TheElectricUnderground‬ to discuss the nature of games critique today, and the effect it has on the design of the games we play. We deep dive into the value of Steam reviews to both gamers and developers, how useful is the IGN-owned mainstream games journalism media machine now, how developers use Metacritic, and how all this affects the design of the games we play today.
