God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement - eviltoast

It’s like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there’s no excuse.

    People will buy it, review, and then get a refund within the return window.

      That does sound like review bombing then. People elsewhere in the thread are arguing about definitions.

        I read those conversations. I wouldn’t call this review bombing. This is people buying it and being upset with the product, then leaving a review and returning it.

        That’s part of what a review system is meant for.

          I doubt the majority of those incidents are people who bought it without knowing about the controversy first. Thats why they can be grouped and labeled as something other than standard reviews.
