Ori developer Moon Studios head warns it may have to shut down following review bombing | VGC
That sounds less like review bombing and more like poorly received mechanics and broken promises. Am I missing something here?
Right? "We made a mediocre game that doesn't deliver on the promises we made. Pls give good review now"
That being said, I have not read the Steam reviews, but it could be that they are getting bombed, but the situation described in the article is just people not liking the game for valid reasons
I went and read a good chunk of negative steam reviews for it. And yeah, the vast majority of the negative ones are about mechanics, or performance, and seem perfectly legitimate. A lot that basically even say, "I don't recommend now but seems like it will be good once they cook for a bit."
I did see a couple made super recently that were basically negative reviewing because of this dude's statements, but not many.
And funny how the only reviews I could imagine being considered review bomb-y seem to only have happened because of his whining about being review bombed.
Mostly it looks like the game's recent "The Breach" update was legitimately poorly received by the playerbase, the studio head decided, "No, it's the children who are wrong."
Ugh, this discussion happens every time this topic comes up. There's nothing about the phrase "review bombing" that implies the reviews are somehow illegitimate. It just means a large number of negative reviews in a short time.
