How does the game got very positive even before release??!!
This is kind of market manipulation strategy to be very honest. You know those who are paying hefty more will most probably rate the game as good as they are obviously more interested to play and pay more for it.

And this is surprising to you why exactly? But it's obviously not completely true otherwise the game would have had a 100% rating.
It's positive because it's a good game. That's usually how these things work

That 100% would obviously look sus, you just need common sense to understand that. I have no qualms with the game being good or bad, if you had tried to understand what I am opposing via the OP.

The difference in price here is twenty quid. That's the same price as a carton of 20 cigarettes.
I'm not sure what you're expecting though. It'd be self evident those most likely to rate the game highly are those most interested in the game, and that those most interested in the game are the ones most likely to buy it. Unless you think there's a whole lot of people with little to no interest in the game just waiting to pay sixty quid to play it and leave a negative review in a couple of hours I fail to see how it would make any difference?

They're not that stupid, if they buy or bot reviews they put in a few less than perfect ones if they don't happen naturally.

We'll see how this one goes, I guess.

You have a problem with it being positive. And it's positive because majority who's played it has been enjoying it. That should explain everything to you

Yes I'm definitely a bot and have been paid to leave a good review

I don't need any explanation from you who failed to understand what I am opposing in the OP at first place and getting riled up unnecessarily.

many will feel they need to justify overpaying for a 4/10 game

Because some people bought the higher priced one have been playing since the 13th and have done reviews of what the game was like.

The people who paid an extra twenty bucks (ostensibly for the extra costumes) have already been playing it for a few days. There's no mystery here.

Exactly. And sort of manipulative.
I watched 30 mins of gameplay on twitch and it was so unimpressive tbh. Singsing was playing with a mage I think and all the spells are being cast with the same incantations which sound like 'rotten egg' LOL

Rather than just refunding it?
I understand it might be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but not everyone likes the same things.

Yeah, people excited enough to spend more to play early probably have a better chance of enjoying the game and leaving a positive review. But those folks get to leave their review same as anybody else; it's not "manipulation".
