Yeah I'm sure changing negative reviews is a factor here and totally wouldn't have been an incentive for future good behavior

Their incentive is money. All this is teaching them is that they need to find a different approach to do the same thing.

The AAA outfits are trash and should die.

Bad reviews tend to lead to worse sales...

Sorry, the argument is they should have zero consequences for trying something reviled because they abandoned it later? And that will make them not try similar things later, because of reasons?

[–] TrickDacy 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The "argument" is that a few people said people should reward them doing the right thing eventually but others somehow think that's evil or some weird ass shit.

It's not complicated, as much as Internet weirdos want it to be

[–] barsquid 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They are being rewarded for doing the right thing simply by people not continuing to refund.

Ok it's just weird to me that people like you have some moral objection to a slightly different attitude applied to reviews. It's not something worth talking about.

[–] barsquid 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nobody cares what attitude to apply to reviews. You decided to have a conversation. You don't have to continue it.
