I’m a PS5 player, so I can’t make an impact, but if you did write a negative review (thank you, you made this happen ❤️) please consider taking the time to change it! This was clearly not AH decision and the game deserves an accurate review, it’s easily one of the best games I’ve ever played and definitely the best game as a service!

Edit: woke up to new comments, this post reminded… Lemmy is just the same as Reddit.

Edit2: Christ I need to turn off Lemmy notifications, I’ve left this community and this was a stark reminder for me… don’t engage with a specific game community, just enjoy the fucking game!

    Shouldn’t the review reflect what the game actually is though?

      If the game ships with

      1. additional unnecessary activation requirements

      2. a rootkit

      Then those factors should affect the reviews. You’re not reviewing specific segments of a product, you’re sharing your experience start to finish.

        The recent reviews aren’t about the “rootkit”

        And while I don’t necessarily disagree I do think that reviews should ideally reflect the game as it currently is and not as it were. It’s no big deal though.

          No, the recent reviews are about a company trying to pull a stunt expecting no backlash. There was backlash. You review the game at the time and how it was then. You don’t keep re-reviewing after every week to keep your review up to date.

      That’s why steam has a review system based on dates, bad reviews will go away as time goes on if the game goes the right direction, the negative reviews simply serve as a point you can see that they fucked up, like a review time capsule. That’s how I see it.
