These bombs are talked about, which means the actions that the bombs are meant to protest get more publicity. They do bring attention, both good and bad, to the issue that’s angering those who are posting the negative reviews. The most popular use of review bombs is to send a message about one particular issue or perceived wrongdoing on the part of the developer or publisher. In other words, review bombs take place not to talk about the quality of the game in any kind of general sense, and they’re rarely posted to give any information about whether or not they should buy the game itself.

Sometimes they happen due to the actions of the developer, and other times they’re posted to draw attention to a particular problem in a game’s update or some other unresolved issue. It’s hard to say without having access to sales information, but the negative reviews rarely have anything to do with the game itself. The last bar represents the reviews today as of the time of this writing. The negative reviews are still being posted, with 4,731 posted on Oct. Players posted 6,789 negative reviews on Oct. Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds suffered a much larger review bomb Steam The bomb started due to advertisements shown to gamers in China, and people are angry. The customer reviews are “mixed” overall, according to Steam, but there’s a hell of a review bomb going on. The customer reviews for Battlegrounds to date Steam But neither group was very large when compared to the overall sales and reviews of the game to date.Īnd then there’s Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds. Critics of Campo Santo attacked the game, and fans fought back. Once word of the review bomb got out, fans of the game came out in larger numbers, at least on that date.
This wasn’t an issue people felt that passionately about, it seems.Īnother interesting point is that there 303 positive reviews on Sept. There were 215 negative reviews the day after Vanaman posted his tweet, with fewer but still substantial numbers of reviews for the next few days before the bomb rapidly tapered off. Steam automatically isolates and shows you the information for the suspected review bomb, which is nice. And then the review bomb pops up at the right end of the graph.
There are a number of review spikes throughout the life of the game, likely due to Steam sales. That makes sense, as Firewatch isn’t a game for everyone. The majority of reviews were posted when the game launched, with a reasonable number of negative reviews posted at the same time. First, let’s take a look at all of Firewatch’s customer reviews to date: This is what a healthy review cycle looks like, with the review bomb on the right Steam Enough people were upset that a review bomb was aimed at Firewatch, Campo Santo’s successful first game. Using DMCA complaints in this manner is perfectly legal, but many disagreed with the potential implications of this rather unusual move. We're filing a DMCA takedown of PewDiePie's Firewatch content and any future Campo Santo games.- Sean Vanaman September 10, 2017
