Fuck no. Excuse me, but that's so damn stupid. I mean, I get how a 100 point scale is maybe a little too fine grain to judge a game from "worthless" to "future classic" but what does dropping a 0-10 scale help review quality?
The amount of text stays the same
The reviewers stay the same
The review policy stays the same
What changes?
Nobody ever complained that Roger Ebert gave stars (a rough equivalent of a 10 point scale, basically). A point scale doesn't mean "this game is objectively 78.43% good". That's what Metacritic is for (like it or not…). It's just a subjective scale for each individual review outlet to rank games based on their very own definitions of quality. It's relatively easy to judge a game on a 10 point scale. You can substitute the numbers for a written category ("unremarkable but solid", "well designed all around but lacking originality", "an example for doing everything we want out of a videogame").
I like Eurogamer. I like their reviews. By removing the scores, they're changing exactly nothing, except for boycotting Metacritic, which is kinda counter-productive. The issue with Metacritic isn't its existence, it's that most reviews are shit. They're bringing us statistical evidence for it, that's their only crime. Now, by removing themselves from Metacritic, Eurogamer gives more power to the countless review outlets who don't really give a shit and we're getting even closer to the eternal 8/10.
And yea, I'm also not reading 500 pages of reviews every month. Those scores do serve a purpose in that they are like a marker, an award or anti-award that highlights games that stand out. If Eurogamer gives a game a 10/10, that catches my attention, and there's nothing wrong with that. Why remove that? Do they expect me to read the equivalent of a small novel every month (note: I'm not just speaking of Eurogamer, I'm speaking of the trend they're supporting here) to skim through paragraphs of paragraphs of repeating descriptions to get to the meat of a review where it starts talking about whether it's even worth playing? Nope.
Such fucking backwards logic. Man.
