  The game is self-published. They used to be published by Private Division but went indie when that company got sold. The game had legitimately troubled development.

    Still doesn’t legitimize demands for positive reviews. Take honest feedback, or don’t.

      The article states it got review bombed (but not what for). Dishonest negative score kinda throws out legitimacy of the whole thing, making it a bit less bad. I feel for the desperate dev, but I guess I still agree with you.

        Except they did not get review bombed and the article is blindly using the studio head as a source. Go look at the reviews, there actually is a ton of valuable feedback there.

        Depends the heuristics used. Bombing reviews most times do not cite their contentions, which can be dismissed.

      I wouldn’t see it SO negatively. If they were paying people for reviews, then yes, that’s corruption; but every YouTuber uses phrases like “Drop a like” and it’s considered normal. When you worked hard on something, I think it’s common to ask for a positive review. People are sentient enough to choose whether to do so.

        Correct “Drop honest feedback please!” is a much better response that “positive bomb this game please!”
