I don’t doubt it, but I think what’s really happening is that they’re getting rid of spam reviews by people who don’t actually own the game and just leaving negative feedback for culture war purposes.
A lot of outrage over Kill the Justice League. Just imagine how much better life would be if young people could get this spun up over real problems like, you know, genocide or gas prices.
It’s four main things:
The gameplay being simplistic and repetitive, and forcing you onto live service.
The “unhotted” the characters. Harley is no longer a sex object in spandex and Poison Ivy has been reincarnated a little kid because she died in one of the Arkham games.
There’s an LGBTQ sign that you have to run by every time you return to base.
They killed Kevin Conroy’s Batman who you played as through the Arkham Series. So they’re using his GOAT status to say the series did Batman dirty.
One of those is a legit critique, but many games are unoptimized and shitty cash grabs but don’t inspire 7,000 haters to review bomb something, so….
