    That’s literally the point, though. There are some easy steps to avoid it too.

    • Make sure your product is finished when you charge full price on release
    • Don’t remove features that were previously present
    • Don’t add invasive software
    • Don’t add arbitrary requirements that you’re not upfront with

      Imo that’s not review bombing, that’s just reviewing. Review bombing should be used for unwarranted reviews, such as “muh wokeism” type shit.

        That’s exactly what these companies and gaming journalists refer to as review bombing though. It’s just a way to stop consumers from using the one weapon we have

        As much as I get your point someone leaving a negative review because of (perceived) political elements in a game they don’t like is still a valid review

          Leaving a negative review over people of color, women, women in power, homosexual relationships, etc. etc. is absolutely not a valid review. Stop normalizing bigotry.
