[QUOTE="WhatGravitas, post: 4025573, member: 33132"] That's the problem with your analysis. [b]These are not reviews. These are not review copies.[/b] These are impressions from a tested beta. More correct example, based on yours: Company develops drugs. Company gives drugs to ten test companies, five have positive results, two are negative, three are inconclusive. Some of the test companies ask the drug company if it's allowed to give a first impression. Drug company says "yes" and also says criticism should be directed at them first to allow them to fix it. [b]And this is where we are.[/b] Drug company develops the drug further and releases it, now as fully functional version, allowing all company to publicize all reviews of the final product, whether it be good or bad.
