Scraping of reviews for @criticdb.bsky.social should be way faster now.
Would help if the scraping server had enough resources. OOPS.

Once we get through launching PR Accounts as well as platform enhancements, I'm going to start planning out the "CriticDB Ambassador" (name tbd) program.
We'll look for 10 Games Media people who can bring their own ideas to the table on how we make @criticdb.bsky.social the best it can be.
Soon.

Final Weapon Now Included on CriticDB, A New Video Game Review Aggregator
The world of video game reviews is constantly evolving with each passing year, and 2025 is no exception. Earlier this year, a new video game review aggregate platform was launched: CriticDB. This platform, while similar to Metacritic and OpenCritic, has many different goals. CriticDB aims to bring together players, developers, publishers, PR, and media into one platform, acting as a place of discovery for both games and outlets.
