Ah yes, review bombed the new catchphrase from game journalist used to dismiss justified consumer complaints.
I feel it should only be used for when there’s some agenda pushing going on (like the whole woke crying whenever the incels are triggered by something), not for legit reviews due to malpractice from the devs or publishers or whatever.
From what I’ve seen it’s almost always malpractice due to devs/publisher.
Nah. I’ve seen plenty of examples where people rather cried about people of color, females, gay people, etc.
Large scale reviewing bombing where that is the focus?
At this point to me, review bombed just means many people are unhappy with a product, likely for notable reasons. Any other connotation added would require me to trust the integrity of the journalist using the phrase, which is a bar they have almost universally decided doesn’t matter, particularly when it comes to media journalism of any sort.
The words change, the business stays the same. Been that way since mass effect 3 and dragon age 2, at least.
Review bombed basically means we’ll continue to play the game and give you money, but we are very upset about it.
You can review and refund a game and the review will stay up. Reviews definitely impact sales.
