Review bombing is utterly stupid.

[Tealius Maximus]

Good games are good games. Review bombing good games because of Epic Games just being a bit scummy isn't doing anything. I don't think companies give a damn about what reviews they get on Steam like 3 years after the games got publish and became successful.

I didnt say It's not happened before..
but remember abstractism ? i think valve already realise that and starting to take more control with steam direct so it wont happen anymore

So why haven't I heard anything on Gamespot about Valve strong arming Flight Sim Labs into removing that hacking code mentioned in the Video?

Because the code's purpose is not to hack, but rather a valid anti-piracy measure?

Fair to note that that video only contains one example of an actual deliberate example. 2 Were examples of the mastering computer being infected without the knowledge of the developers (AV was not the greatest back in them days. Even withy Heuristics it was still a dice-roll).

1 was an exploit (and remember Minecraft was/is based on Java so yeah exploits are gonna always be a thing. Another was not even attached to the game , but rather an entirely sperate program that just happened to look at the data files of a game. It had no connection to the developer, or publisher of the game (which kinda shows you the level of journalistic integrity youtubers have; more important to fill a clickbait quota than to have accurate information). The #1 is an example but there are few if any examples of non-pirates who suffered any actual issues.

Most of the concern is the potential but the weird thing about potential is that you then get into paranoia.
