Shouldn't the review reflect what the game actually is though?
If the game ships with
additional unnecessary activation requirements
a rootkit
Then those factors should affect the reviews. You're not reviewing specific segments of a product, you're sharing your experience start to finish.
The recent reviews aren't about the "rootkit"
And while I don't necessarily disagree I do think that reviews should ideally reflect the game as it currently is and not as it were. It's no big deal though.
No, the recent reviews are about a company trying to pull a stunt expecting no backlash. There was backlash. You review the game at the time and how it was then. You don't keep re-reviewing after every week to keep your review up to date.
That's why steam has a review system based on dates, bad reviews will go away as time goes on if the game goes the right direction, the negative reviews simply serve as a point you can see that they fucked up, like a review time capsule. That's how I see it.
Yes. If you want to play “by the rules.” They don’t. Not sure why we should then.
