If you have followed the release of Neverwinter Nights 2, own the game, or are even mildly interested in video game current events, you may be interested in this article.

Now, beyond the scope of Neverwinter Nights 2, what does this retraction mean for the relationship between gamers and game reviewers? Is this a display of weakness on the part of 1up deciding to throw in the towel and give in to their audiences complaints? I think the context of the situation may have been a bit isolated to extend beyond this review agency. I guess if you start to see other sites folding their reviews for the game, you may wonder.
