    To me “review bomb” implies giving a rating based on external or irrelevant factors. Giving a game a bad review because it doesn’t run correctly on your computer is perfectly valid and helpful to other users.

      It ran fine since 2017 and got blindsided by MS. Anyone blaming Ubisoft is biased af, or has information not included in this article.

        Yeah, the billion dollar game developer doesn’t have the resources to test preview editions of the only PC OS their game is designed for. They’re just a small startup of ~20k employees. How are they supposed to allocated anyone to patching a game from their most popular franchise?

        You’re right, it’s the consumers fault for being biased.

          They do have the resources, they also have the expectation they won’t need to waste them on dumb shit MS breaks.

          Ubisoft IS the consumer of MS products. But I guess your sympathies for consumers is only skin deep.
