It’s like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there’s no excuse.

    Review bombing is an intentional attack (e.g. someone posts a story about a shitty restaurant owner and everyone on the internet starts leaving negative reviews for that restaurant even though they’ve never been there). Just getting negative reviews organically for being bad is not review bombing.

      If a bunch of people are intentionally buying the game, reviewing and refunding without playing it, isn’t that the same?

      If they’re reviewing it negatively and then enjoying the game without refunding, I’ve gotta laugh.
