Wasn't Bethesda individually responding to/disputing negative Steam reviews? Obviously someone's got a lot of time on their hands over there, wouldn't put it past them to spend a bunch of time manipulating this vote too.

Yes they where, even to mine.

Sorry you did not enjoy the game, but there are so many ways to enjoy it.

Gaslighting the shit out of it.

Yes. For example, not having it in my library and people ripping it apart in reviews or memes.

They sure were and I considered that as part of the Todd guess. Whether entirely fake accounts or paid employees, it's still just desperate vote manipulation by crybabies.

The responses read like they were generated with a large language model. Not that training such a model wouldn't take a bunch of time, but at least then the effort would approach zero over time.
