the game/steam release definitely deserved bad reviews - but it'd be hard to deny that it wasn't also a bombing run.
A review bomb is when people start jumping down the game's throat with negative reviews for shit unrelated/peripheral to the game. If they're triggered by the actual core design choices of the game it isn't a review bomb.
These reviews are because the game is a money grubbing downgrade from the game people bought and had taken away from them, and this is the first opportunity they had to publish a review on a storefront. The motivation being the actual game means it can't be a review bomb.
If they're still playing the game anyway, I might call that a review bomb.
So overwatch 2 is objectively terrible, but putting that aside for a moment…
Can you seriously not envision a scenario where you personally do a thing (maybe even enjoy that thing), but still wouldn’t recommend it to others?
Can you seriously envision a scenario where the worst game of all time is among the most-played?
Ah okay I see you’re the kind of kid who answers a question with a question. 🤦♂️
Enjoy picking petty fights over… who likes which video game better. Not really my dig kiddo
Yes, I answered your question with a question because your scenario was as absurd as you perceived mine to be. So I'll answer yours directly: "yes, but not at that scale". Because at that scale, it's a review bomb.
