That's why steam reviews are better with it being from actual people who aren't scared of being blacklisted from future access. Even with joke reviews it's still actually more informative. These review outlets call it review bombing, but I call it review awareness with it highlighting and bringing attention to things paid reviewers neglect and ignore.
I don't blame the reviewers for reviewing the product they were given. I blame Capcom for the bait and switch, and the editors who won't edit the review to reflect the current reality
I don't even necessarily blame the devs, but I do blame the shareholders and people in administrative positions who pushed for this
Yeah man, "professional" reviewers are the biggest joke in gaming, I'll trust the people who actually after about a h money they spent and the games they played. Genuine people tend to be truth worthy in this regard.
