This is what happens when USAID funding dries up and they don't have extra cash to buy reviews - as we know USAID funded "reviews" in gaming mags and funded journalists in "gamergate" 1 and 2.

With that cut off now, we're going to be seeing a lot more honest reviews because they weren't bought. Some big land-whales, like Disney or others, will still pull the worst tricks as they have a serious pressure to make their bottom line look like it is at least starting to rise from the wreck of the Titanic.

I would add in “and a higher interest rate environment” to the USAID cutoff. Money is no longer free!

Tom Clancy might have been able to this off. Modern Hollywood, nope.

😂😂😂 sounds like the only remaining entertainment value is reading the most cleverly phrased insults in the reviews.

It was truly terrible, and I have a very big appetite for bad or trashy sci-fi. I kept being pulled out of the story by the idea that "wow, Ice Cube is basically emoting to a web cam. He's come a long way as an actor."
