Still has 96% recent and 96% overall positive reviews and an “overwhelmingly positive” overall rating.
I don’t think they’re making much of a dent. The article is pretty unclear though on why Chinese gamers are mad, other than that there was a possible “dodgy translation.”
I mean, it’s a blip but they were trying.
The gist of it seems to be a few Chinese gamers are upset that Black Myth: Wukong didn’t win game of the year and combined with a bad translation made it seem like Sven, who was presenting, instead of his anti-greed speech was translated into basically saying that he knew who was going to win, like he knew beforehand, and game sales aren’t important, and some took that ask he was mocking Black Myth for not winning.
Just language barriers and general gamer stupidity all around.

I’m pretty sure nationalistic pride is also a factor. Wukong is not just a game they like, it’s their game.
The Chinese have glass hearts. You can see it whenever Taiwan gets mentioned as an independent nation.
I understand being upset if your game didn’t win, but your game came out the same year as Baldur’s Gate 3. I mean come on, you had to know…
Is that with Steam’s “recent off-topic activity” system turned on, or off?
Steam introduced something where if they see a large scale of reviews in a short period that express thoughts unrelated to the game itself, they exclude those reviews from the default view of the page.
There’s nothing more awe-inspiring than the online equivalent of a few hundred toddlers screaming for attention.
Chinese gamers upset their total mid jingly keys action game didn’t win?
Imagine my shock~500 negative reviews, c’mon, what a piece of trash article.
TheGamer is well-known to be a trash drama-generating website.

it’s funnier than thu. there is a Chinese mobile app also getting review bombed because its logo resembles astro bot.
China antis are the most insecure out there. It’s always something stupid
Just LOL
So I checked and could not find any review bombing. If there was one, it was tiny and not worth talking about.
Welp… You know what to do, fellow Westerners. Time to counter-review bomb Black Wukong.
Or how about being a rational gamer and just laugh at the stupidity without resorting to childish, stupid antics.
consequences: 0
I’m sorry; did you need the /s on that?
Everyone needs the /s. It’s simply text, there is no tone to judge your sarcasm by.
I mean yeah. Poe’s Law exists for a reason.
If it’s a call-to-action, you always need the /s. Some people will see it and listen if you don’t. Sometimes you can get away with leaving it off, but not if you’re telling people to do something bad.

Only ~500 negative reviews… What a nothingburger article lol.
I mean, the Chinese players aren’t totally wrong, support from sales IS an important metric. Swen definitely should have worded that better. But is that worth a negative review, IDK. This seems to line up with Chinese culture as a whole though, which is usually polar opposite to the West.
TheGamer… I can’t say the majority of articles I have personally seen from this site haven’t been poor quality bait articles like this one, so I am going to put this one in the pile with Kotaku, IGN, and the others. The pile of “Rarely makes a decent article but most of the time is easily ignored.”

rampant capitalism over workers’ desires lines up with Chinese culture?
No, I meant that them leaving negative reviews because of what was said is a pretty typically Chinese thing to do. Genshin Impact has been plagued by this for pretty much its entire existence. If you ask anyone, the Chinese playerbase is viewed as incredibly toxic because of this.
