    Well, I’m glad I didn’t end up buying it last week like I wanted to. I decided to wait another paycheck instead.

    Saved me wasting time or money.

    Honestly people shit on review-bombing over specific incidents but this is the kind of thing that 100% deserves it.

      Review bombing is getting people to review something a certain way without them having have experienced the thing.

      Basically a small group think their own opinion is so important, they try to convince as many people as possible to vote the same to make it seem more people share their opinion.

      These reviews were from players who actually played the game and got affected by the changes. It isn’t review bombing, their opinions are valid.

        Plenty of review bombing as the method protests can be valid. It’s just a method. It so happens that many of them are stupid, but ultimately that’s just how it goes.

        Not really, at least on Wikipedia the page for review bombing and the one listing significant ones make no distinction between actually having played the game/watched the movie or not.
