Why’d they pay for bad ones?

When Civ VIII rolls around they won’t send review copies to anyone who gave bad reviews last time.

Just like they wouldn’t the last time…and the time before that…and the time before that…
It’s not a thing at outlets like these. Paid promo from influencers and independent reviews are not the same thing.

That’s not paid advertising. And review scores only tend to slide by a couple of points in aggregate after everyone else gets their review in.
