Metacritic Pulls AI-Written Resident Evil Review Tied to Videogamer
Metacritic removed a Resident Evil Requiem review from Videogamer after readers exposed the byline as a fake AI journalist with an AI-generated profile image; Kotaku reports staff upheaval at Videogamer and a shift to AI content under owner Clickout. Metacritic later warned that AI-generated reviews are banned and will be removed, noting other AI-linked pieces (including a Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen review) have also been pulled as part of a broader review of credibility and quality control in gaming journalism.
