- onion2k 7y agoEmbargoes stop early publication. They don't stop critics talking to each other.
- mantap 7y agoSure but what was being suggested was a bandwagon effect where a few early reviews are bad and it influences the reviews afterwards. Since the major reviews were all published on the same day that doesn't seem particularly likely.
