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.

I disagree. imo review bombing is more like a protest or boycott. a collective action that may or may not be justified

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.

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
