Again, that was a subjective opinion that Sterling received months of doxxing, harassment, and threats for.
I personally also felt the game was, for me as a player playing it, a 7/10 or so compared to other Zelda games I liked more because I enjoyed their mechanics and gameplay more.
Call it "contrarian" if you must but I'd rather Sterling give their subjective opinion rather than have to bow to some dishonest pretense of "objectivity" just because a large crowd of consumers liked a product more than the reviewer.
I don’t believe in genuine neutrality but I believe in intellectual integrity
Saying that a 7/10 review lacks "intellectual integrity" feels dangerously close to a :freeze-gamer: take for me.
I can recognize that something is a genuinely great racing sim
And I can argue over competing games (with arguably less toxic fandoms) having a valid claim to being as good, or better, at what Breath of the Wild did.
the realm of solipsism.
:what-the-hell:
At this point, I'd rather not escalate this so I'll just make this my last reply in this particular reply chain.

Jokes on you guys. I'd never score a game in terms of #/10 and I don't know what a solipsism is.
