    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

    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”

    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

    I always try to keep my reviews constructive for small devs. So far, they’ve always appreciated the detailed feedback. I’ve had a few where I completely changed my reviews after they fixed my complaints and let me know about the update.

      That would be incredibly stupid.

      1 bad review wouldn’t put me off a game I was genuinely interested in, but the dev being a total douche canoe would.

        I like to read the bad reviews. I know everyone has different tastes. A constructive bad review can sell me a game if the things that person didn’t like aren’t a deal breaker for me.

          This is somewhat separate, but personally I find that the most reliable way to find good restaurants is to read the bad reviews and see if they have real complaints or if they were just in a foul mood because there was a wait to get a table without booking. If the restaurant replies that can be helpful too
