Now they've moved to review-bombing other Valve games since Valve isn't listening.
Not a great look for the community.
Not a great look for valve either
What other options do they have? This is like complaining abut people striking, when it's the only way for them to get a decent salary.
Sometimes we need to make things difficult to get listened to in life.
Review-bombing other games is valid when TF2 is broken?
Other valve games
I've read that but the quality of Dota or Couter-Strike is unrelated to the quality of TF2. Review bombing those is stupid. Give TF2 a bad score. That's fine because it's about the quality of TF2. Give Dota and CS a bad score when those games suck.
If Valve is ignoring TF2, only way to get satisfaction is to review bomb the games Valve does care about.
Community in question has been eduring this for at least 4 years now. Id wager to say that taking matters into their own hands via activism and demanding change with whatever methods they can is a very good look actually.
Where were the negative TF2 reviews in the last 4 years then? Give TF2 a bad score, don't rate other games badly, just because "the community" was complacent until now.
Start small to practice civil disobedience so you have the backbone to do it when it matters also.
Most people are very weak. They never go against the crowd even once.
My union is doing this kind of thing right now. Start small and creep the action towards disobedience to keep people engaged and willing.
I'm sure you are out doing something then. :) Good thing you are not just a rude teenager... :)
How do you fight the power? Do you ever, actually?
