Sure, but I’d the dev wants to patch out unintended behavior or mechanics, they can do that as well. If the player wants to play with broken mechanics, install mods like the rest of us.
I see. Then in this case, its only fair to remove exploits. I always thought this game is offline single player only (never played the previous game, despite being in my library… oh boy the pile of shame). In this case I agree with you fully and there should be no reason for “review bomb”.
People review bomb games that add or take away things that didn’t even affect gameplay in the slightest.
For Lunacid, there was an update that allowed you to choose your character’s pronouns when you started a game; this has literally nothing to do with how you play the game, how NPCs interact with you, or literally anything other than just some flavor text. If you go into the steam forums and read reviews for the game you’ll see so many idiots harping on and on about how the game “used to be” great until they added pronouns, and now it’s literally unplayable.
Yeah, this is basically any kind of media these days. It’s rampant on Rotten Tomatoes. To the point where I’ll watch a decent show, and as soon as I see someone who might be nonbinary, I know the user reviews on RT are going to be artificially low and filled with “would have been good if it didn’t have identity politics in it, 0 stars” reviews. And I’m right every time.
Because a nonbinary person simply existing is enough to ruin the experience for them. Fucking losers.

Whaaah, the dev took away my ability to exploit a bug and balanced a boss, worse game ever, -100/10
To be fair, its a single player game. If the player wishes to exploit bugs to play the game that way, then the player should be able to.
Sure, but I’d the dev wants to patch out unintended behavior or mechanics, they can do that as well. If the player wants to play with broken mechanics, install mods like the rest of us.
It’s a multiplayer game.
Not to legitimize the review bombers.
And it is cooperative.
Ok, fair I guess. Does it have player vs player mode? That was what I was thinking off.
There are leaderboards and daily challenges.

The multiplayer turned out great for me. It ended up being a big draw. My wife and best friend plays, and we have played together.
