albums</a>, <a href="/wiki/Video_game" title="Video game">video games</a>, and formerly <a href="/wiki/Book" title="Book">books</a>. For each product, the scores from each review are averaged (a <a href="/wiki/Weighted_average" class="mw-redirect" title="Weighted average">weighted average</a>). Metacritic was created by Jason Dietz, Marc Doyle, and Julie Doyle Roberts in 1999, and was acquired by <a href="/wiki/Fandom_(website)#Fandom,_Inc." title="Fandom (website)">Fandom, Inc.</a> in 2022. </p><p>Metacritic turns each review into a percentage score. This can be done either by calculating the score from the rating given or by making a subjective decision based on the review's quality. Before averaging the scores, they are adjusted based on the critic's popularity, reputation, and the number of reviews they have written. The site also includes a summary from each review and links to the original source, using colors like green, yellow, or red to indicate the overall sentiment of the critics. </p><p>Metacritic won two <a href="/wiki/Webby_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Webby Award">Webby Awards</a> for excellence as an aggregation website.

In 2007, Nick Wingfield of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal" title="The Wall Street Journal">The Wall Street Journal</a></i> wrote that Metacritic "influence[s] the sales of games and the stocks of video game publishers".

Wingfield wrote that <a href="/wiki/Wall_Street" title="Wall Street">Wall Street</a> pays attention to Metacritic and <a href="/wiki/GameRankings" title="GameRankings">GameRankings</a> because the sites typically post scores before sales data are publicly available, citing the respective rapid rise and fall in company values after <i><a href="/wiki/BioShock" title="BioShock">BioShock</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Spider-Man_3_(video_game)" title="Spider-Man 3 (video game)">Spider-Man 3</a></i> were released.<sup id="cite_ref-wsj_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wsj-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In an interview with <i><a href="/wiki/The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a></i>, Marc Doyle cited two major publishers that "conducted comprehensive statistical surveys through which they've been able to draw a correlation between high metascores and stronger sales" in certain genres. He claimed that an increasing number of businesses and financial analysts use Metacritic as "an early indicator of a game's potential sales and, by extension, the publisher's stock price".<sup id="cite_ref-guardian_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-guardian-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, a 2015 study analyzing over 88 <a href="/wiki/Xbox_360" title="Xbox 360">Xbox 360</a> and 80 <a href="/wiki/PS3" class="mw-redirect" title="PS3">PS3</a> games from 2012 found that Metacritic scores did not impact actual sales.<sup id="cite_ref-study-2015_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-study-2015-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Controversially, the website has been used by game publishers as a means of determining whether a game's developer receives additional royalties. One notable example is the 2010 game <i><a href="/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas" title="Fallout: New Vegas">Fallout: New Vegas</a>,</i> which received an average Metascore of 84, one short of the 85 points required by <a href="/wiki/Bethesda_Softworks" title="Bethesda Softworks">Bethesda Softworks</a>, the game's publisher. As a result, its developer, <a href="/wiki/Obsidian_Entertainment" title="Obsidian Entertainment">Obsidian Entertainment</a>, received no additional bonus. Columnists took issue with the company's use of Metacritic, with one suggesting that this makes game critics ultimately accountable for deciding the developer's profits and another pointing out that a Metascore of 84 is not significantly lower than 85. The latter also pointed out the impressive sales of five million sold units and US$300 million in revenue, and also noted a series of Obsidian's layoffs in 2011 and 2012.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The website has also been used by columnists and commentators as a general reference for critical reception,<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and by publishers as a tool of improving their products.
