Good news for...fans? Don't you mean for the studio? I mean, do fans get a cut of the profits or something?https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1065368282960707584 …

I'm coming at this as a critic who has had fans of certain video game franchises give me hell out of fear that my sub-9 review score for a game might mean the creators miss out on a bonus for a 9+ Metacritic score.
I think this investment in corporate profits among fans is, to some degree, deliberately cultivated by those corporations (and by enthusiast media that unquestioningly regurgitates the corporate PR message), and I think it's unhealthy.
That’s fair. But at the same time fans want things they like to make money because it means a larger likelihood of more things that they like. That’s not unreasonable if it’s kept in proportion.
Not sure these are exactly the same thing. Metacritic based bonuses are a big problem, but fans paying attention to sales figures are a different issue
Okay. Yeah, we disagree about these issues. I think there's a lot of overlap. And I think it speaks to an unhealthy degree of identification with the success of a corporate brand. That's fine. Cheers.
