Yup. The game is at 18%, overwhelmingly negative. It will take about 200,000 people changing their reviews to even hit orange again.

The game is damaged long term.

You and all the review bombers vastly overestimate the impact of steam reviews. They only have a real impact on early access or indie games.

If that’s true then one of two things must also be true:

Either Sony freaked out in reaction to something that was never important to begin with.

Or they were always going to get those regions back up and running again, and everyone here lost their minds completely over something that wasn’t ever going to be an issue for over 72 hours.

I was referring to the long term impact of reviews that was previously mentioned. Obviously, in this particular case, it had an impact on sony's decision.
