I think about it in a more general sense. If you look at metacritic, you'll either see the knee-jerk reaction reviews from fan/foe players with 0 information or the "professional" reviews that mostly read as disguised ads. Long gone are the times of good, researched reviews. Which in my opinion is another face of the deprecation of content value (ie people not paying for high quality researched content). Same as why news channels now have people panels instead of investigative journalism. Also the fact that most companies forbid benchmarks... they are incredibly useful tools for comparing products.
