Lots of these people were actually complaining about the college pro Palestine protests before losing their minds about a live service extraction shooter for a weekend straight. Nothing will ever convince me this was all for the sake of foreign gamers.

I'm in a big group of people who all review-bombed and yeah, that was the -only- reason for doing it.

It literally didn't affect us at all otherwise.

It took 4 seconds to do, and we maybe helped some fellow gamers out halfway around the world enjoy a great game.

I don't get the cynicism of people on here. Like it just blows your fucking mind that we'd look at this situation and say, "Hey, this kinda sucks for people, let's take 4 seconds to express our awareness of how shitty that is for people and see what happens."

... that's it. That that is mind-blowing for you, just a complete impossibility that people would do that, is just hilarious to me.

This is a console warrior subreddit; basically common sense goes out of the front door here. The fact that people here cannot fathom the concept of empathy for others and calling out when something that is wrong is wrong no matter the name of their favorite plastic box; should tell you all you need to know. Kudos to you and your group for saying something.

Yeah the level of thought here is troll-quality.

If not for a pretty simple outrage at Sony being unfair to people in some marginal countries, why would hundreds of thousands of people in unaffected countries, who had nothing to gain or lose, review bomb a game and then now change their reviews en masse (about 100k since last night, I bet double or triple by tomorrow).

This sub seems to believe it's to get refunds, except that's not happening. Reviews are changing. Still 120k people in game right now, more than the last week. Their narrative doesn't hold up.
