Everyone who went and gave a negative review to DDS

Good on you. I would do it, too, but don't own the game. Publishers need to see that letting creative people be creative gets better results.

AAA in general needs to learn to rip off other games to success. Like cod could maybe start taking direct copies of maps from battlefield. Bethesda should start ripping off cyberpunk for better gameplay. Corporations need to learn that stealing others ideas and works is fine and and acceptable by most people

They are already well aware of the benefits and do. That's the entire industry, as mechanics can not be copyright. What you see as a AAA failure they see as low risk with guaranteed reward. You would never convince a AAA studio to take a risk on a game like this without precedent of undeniable profit. TVGS made profit because they pay the salary for 1 person, not hundreds.

Why congratulate people on something that, both short and long term, was a complete waste of their time?

Review bombing hasn't worked since Borderlands 3, none of those reviews contribute to the overall rating, nor do any of the reviews that say "Product refunded" and there is absolutely no guarantee that the recent reviews thing will still say overwhelmingly negative a month from now.

Also, people read reviews for information on the game, not to read about company drama that has nothing to do with them.

I am not going to tell others a product is bad just because my feelings are hurt.

[DescipleOfZen]

It wasn't a smart move, it was the publisher, not the developers; the devs are very much upset at the situation and even congratulated Tyler on the release.

Educate yourselves.

Depending on the reason for the review bombing, it does work. Look at Sony and HD2. After all the player backlash, they pulled back from their forced PSN requirement

IT only worked because people OWNED the game. Owned reviews count, refunded reviews do not. They count in "Recent." They do not count in overall.

Stop with this one person nonsense.

DDS parent company were the ones carrying out the INVESTIGATION, there is no lawsuit so far. They are a publicly traded company, they mailed TVGS to see if there was any wrong doing. They have a legal obligation to their shareholders etc etc. Doubt anything will come of it. Point is, this is bureaucracy for the sake of shareholders and the law that Washington decides on. Sense this is a game targeted at adults I hope that y'all have enough maturity to understand that this is the way of the world in the US, and the company has done a lot to calm the waters with TVGS. Stop all the rumor spreading and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The reviews for DDS2 have tanked overall. There were still people who owned the game that also bombed it

Right, Go take a look at DDS not DDS2, it has 2.9k recent reviews with 10% of them being positive, it hasn't touched the review score. The review score for DDS2 has always been poor because people that bought DDS1 felt stolen from and the game itself, was poorly optimized (In some cases, still is for some people.) You can look it up yourself, the entire review system was changed after BL3 because children attacked every gearbox studios game due to the Epic gamestore fiasco.

I doubt that review bombing specifically led to that.
I know myself that I put 0 trust in user reviews on steam anymore because of things like review bombing and people that review games negatively because denuvo or something else that is unrelated to whether game is good or not.

I mean the real problem here is publicly traded enterprises because the publisher literally has an obligation to protect it's property in a predatory way otherwise they could legally lose it.

As usual, people focus on the symptoms, not the disease.
