"The ongoing battle between Cory in the House and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to decide which will ultimately be crowned the top user-rated game on Metacritic rages on, but an unforeseen consequence of the conflict has resulted in second-hand copies of the Nintendo DS Disney game skyrocketing in price in online marketplaces. As , something strange was brewing over on Reddit: a seemingly organic campaign to get the long-memed"
"Since then, things have simultaneously changed drastically and also somehow stayed exactly the same. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is still clinging on to a 9.5 rating, but Cory in the House is back down to a 9.3. The big change is in the number of ratings on Metacritic. I made a note on the 13th that the PS5 version of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 had roughly 23,351 ratings."
A meme-driven Reddit campaign attempted to raise Cory in the House's user score on Metacritic, aiming to surpass Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Clair Obscur remained near a 9.5 user rating while Cory in the House fluctuated around 9.3–9.4 as its number of ratings rose sharply from roughly 2,400 to over 4,600. The PS5 version of Clair Obscur increased from about 23,351 to 23,654 user ratings. The surge of user ratings for Cory in the House coincided with sealed Nintendo DS copies spiking in resale value by more than 3,000 percent. The activity resembles reverse review-bombing and has driven meme-fueled price inflation on resale marketplaces.
