Wikipedia has had to lock down the Silent Hill 2 Remake page after repeated vandalism from editors who refuse to accept that the remake of Konami’s seminal horror game released to critical acclaim earlier this week.
Outright lies around the games reception and metacritic score - including one edit that said the game had “received the worst reviews imaginable” - means the page has now been put into a semi-protected state to stop unregistered users from making wild, unsubstantiated claims, including one that said Eurogamer had awarded it 0/5 stars when, in fact, it got top marks.
It’s unclear what’s motivating the edits, although its presumed by some to have been fuelled by the nauseating discourse that the game is “woke” because of changes made to the characters facial features and clothing.
Alternatively, it may stem from some fans’ dismayed that Silent Hill 2 has been remade by Bloober Teamor, indeed, at all.
But it’s ok when companies pay for their review scores from ‘professionals’?

What about it?
Ok I’m sorry. I mean I’d do it again but I recognize it’s wrong.
Nobody was suggesting that.
Are Steam review scores paid? Because it sure sits on “overwhelmingly positive” right now.
You think Konami paid for this game to have good reviews? I havent seen a bad review yet from any reliable outlets so uhhhh, that’s a lot of bribery
I didn’t like it. You want to tell me that my opinion differs from majority and most people like this trash? Preposterous.
I mean I don’t know you but off hand that seems like the more likely scenario. This game doesn’t release until tomorrow so… uhhh, you got a review copy or something?
It was clearly a joke, I agreed with your comment :)
Ah my bad. Need that sarcasm tag haha
