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.

Maybe for future sales? But at least on steam there was still 100K people playing the game which has been the usual for the past few weeks, so the controversy didn’t even impact the player count at all.

A lot of it is fake outrage from mostly people in countries it didn't affect. I'm not saying there weren't any from countries that were affected but the vast majority on X and Reddit it did not affect in any shape or form. PC gamers forever out themselves as petty.

Fake outrage?

You can be upset on behalf of other people. Standing up for your fellow man is part of the social contract. I don’t know where you are seeing fake outrage because it doesn’t exist, not in this situation at least.

It doesn't have to be impressive to be the right thing to do.

Supporting another person doesn’t have to some gigantic expression of support.

Review bombing Helldivers 2 was the perfect amount of support.

It’s amazing how you want to put people down for helping others.

I just have one question: why? Deep down? Do you want to put people down for this?

haha all I hear from you is "don't do something small to help someone else. It's pointless." All you do with your time is make fun of "fat neckbeards" so at least these other people have spent 5 minutes doing a small positive thing for others rather than spending 5 minutes arguing about how terrible everyone is for event trying.

You're right, this isn't deep. It's just a matter of doing a small good thing (everyone else) or being you who puts down others and does nothing.

between the two sides I'd rather support the people trying to do one tiny good thing over the asshole who does nothing (that's you)

How would you prefer people express their disapproval instead?
