The massive influx of new ratings could also simply be linked to the fact that the game is included in this month's humble choice, adding a ton of new players
I'm not sure it qualifies as "reverse review bombing" if the recent review +/- percentage matches the all-time percentage. There's just more reviews because of the shutdown, the ratio of positive vs negative hasn't meaningfully changed (97% positive overall, 97% positive recently).
Does review bombing have to be negative? For me it was always a big pile of reviews in a short time, like dropping a bomb, but without inherent rating.
It can directly affect how many people will buy the game in the future on PC. Might not be a huge number, and maybe it look like kids throwing a tantrum, but as long as it takes out any ammount of money from MS pocket Im all for it.
Edit: nevermind, its positive reviews, I did not pay attention.

Microsoft furiously writing down the lesson: shut.... studios down.... to.. boost... reviews. Got it! Thanks!

Microsoft looking back and forth between the "lay off bethesda button" and starfield

Literally the reason I downloaded and played the game yesterday.
Really loving it, makes my 400 hours in osu somewhat worth it.
Also run's beautifully on linux.

It's normally negative, yeah, hence the "reverse review bombing" implying that they're positive reviews.

Thor at Pirate Software played it and really liked it, probably part of that.

Cool.
Now do Ghostwire. Because that one was also fun.

A control lever like this can never be idiotic.

Leaving positiv reviews after Microsoft bought and destroyed the studio does exactly nothing.
rdri@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Wrong, it helps raise awareness at the very least.

Nope.

Aren't we talking about it? I'd never heard of this game before
rdri@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
I found quite a few articles on various sites about the matter. More articles mean more raised awareness.
