    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

    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.

    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.

    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”

    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

    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?

      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.
