    Reminds me of when someone left a leaf-blowing simulator a review “can’t sex the leaves” and it caused the dev to make a sex update to a leaf blowing simulator

    For a laugh, review games on Google Play. The asinine responses you get…

    The most ridiculous one was for a pay-to-win bullethell game WITH NO BULLETS. You literally just effortlessly shot at enemies with virtually no way to die. But you could pay stupid sums of money for a better ship which killed enemies faster.

    The dev’s response to my review calling their game overpriced and boring? “Join the discord so you can get tips from top players”

    time spent in game when making a review: 600 hours.

    I hate this game.

    time spent in game after the review was written: 1400 hours.

          I think it’s more they love the game, but hate a specific thing that happens in an update, like their favourite character/ability gets rightfully nerfed, so they throw a tantrum by giving negative review.

    i got in a fight with a small-time dev when they implemented marriages in a rogue like and allowed child marriages but not gay or interracial marriages

    long story short the community exploded and he went full nazi on twitter and now the reviews are actually more positive but from 4chan weirdos calling child marriages based

        At this point it’s “unmoderated comments section” moment. Pretty much all public spaces are infested with this stuff now.

      did they literally just imply that adding same sex marriages that the user has to initiate is the same as living under nazis?

      My grandparents survived the nazis, my parents endured communism, I had to live through religious oppression since the age of 10, and now some spoiled brats think bend my knee to their rainbow flag, or else they’ll type some words.

      Yes. That dev is changing the WORLD by fighting against all the woke jealous stupid libs who think you shouldn’t be able to marry a child.

      Smh. I’m so sick of these straight white dude Nazis acting like they are fighting thousands of years of oppression.

      This was in 2016. But there was a indie game from a small dev in a European country that allowed backers to name NPCs, and there were some racist names. I called that out in my review, and the Dev went, “It’s not racist here in my country.”

      That led to a back and forth on the Steam forum which I got banned. Then I shared it on Reddit, but was stupid to use the same steam name as my twitter name and got a lot of toxic shit.

      I changed my steam name and tossed my twitter account, so no idea what happened, nor do I remember the game.

    I had a dev respond to me 5+ years after a review saying they had fixed the problems I mentioned. Now I have to download the game and play it again or I have no balls. God damn devs holding us accountable.

      I will say that games aren’t static any more so there are legitimate reasons why this might occur. For instance, I had over 100 hours in a game and then the devs decided they liked money more than their player base so they retroactively added a bunch of micro-transactions to the game. The game had been fully released at this point and they just updated it to milk more money out of their player base. Bad updates can ruin the experience in what had once been a good game.

      I think some people keep playing the same game long beyond the point where it stops being fun.

    I left a negative review on a “AAA” game and the dev responded to it by gas lighting me that I didn’t play it right.

    TL;DR starfield sucks

    Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.

      Gta 5 doesn’t allow linux users to play online anymore. Everyone from the linux community shat on them, especially because it was one of the top played games on deck. Where are my rockstar replies?

        Rockstar is just asleep on the big pile of money that they got from the 100 people that bought shark cards every month since the release of GTAO and RDRO

          Unfortunately they didn’t buy enough RDRO gold for it to get nearly as much support as GTAO did. Which is a damn shame because that game was awesome with friends, for the little content it had

      The joke is that people (including the main character/OP) feel comfortable criticizing others when those others don’t know about the criticism, but as soon as they do, the anti-confrontational/cowardly/etc. part of them immediately regrets being critical.
