The point of discussion you are failing to grasp is whether a restriction on reporting created an overpositive effect on feedback which had a delusional effect on the dev team's perception of the game's future reception. Have you considered that?

I'm pretty sure the devs play the game themselves and don't rely on a handful of "journalists" to gauge the game's quality.

That's without a doubt true. They surely rely more on beta testers anyway.
