It feels like it’s really getting out of hand and the language of the negative reviews seems really fake too. I just bought a game that got review bombed and it was fine. From the reviews it sounded like it was going to destroy my graphics card, corrupt my hard drive and be full of bugs. Luckily I watched some gameplay vids and it turned out none of those things were true.

    Didn’t want to mention the name of the game cos some might claim I’m stealth marketing for it or some bs like that.

      Moderator here!

      Feel free to reply to them with the game’s name, clear to me that there’s no ‘stealth marketing’ going on :)

        Oh ok 🙂 It was Seafarer: The Ship Sim. A day after they launched they got a load of negative reviews that took them down to a “Mostly Negative” rating. That’s improved since then, presumably once more genuine reviews came in.
