Critique the actual fault at play, bad writing,

That seems to be what is being done here. Everything that I have seen on this has done what you asked, said what they where critiquing then giving a clip from the game as an example. If people can not be critical of media for any reason, we have an issue.

Oh and 90% of the market could not run the thing.

… I hate to out myself here but I have played some of those games cracked.

I mean there was even a whole thing on Far cry 6 running better cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLnGG92usI

And RE Village https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSMXhdPeCfk And Hogwarts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_bab5wtHY

I looked up Nier: Replicant and yeah, also cracked (I will not share as I think that breaks rules)

EDIT: Also in the link you provided:

"Did Hogwarts Legacy remove Denuvo?

Notorious game cracker has removed Denuvo from Hogwarts Legacy after just two weeks."

Soooo, this means Civ 7 will now 100% be ripped off and pirated.

I was going to say Fallout 4 was the stinker and the only reason it gets as high of praise as it does is just how bad Fallout 76 was and after a lot of patches still is.

I am confused why they think people would not see this as a great excuse to pirate the single player game. Like at what point does this cross over from not paying for the game though gamepass into just not paying?

Yarr?

Urgh, I am on the discord and people for a month now are trying to say its not dead yet since there has been no statement saying it is.

How does any critic keep a positive score up for a non functioning game? Oh yeah, MONEY.

I think if it was not the case we would have seen a lot more failing grades lately. I mean some of the titles did not even work on launch yet somehow 9/10?

Depends on if the cheque clears.
