Influencers (mostly vod and twitch based) have increasingly realized the way to move up to the next “tier” (or to maintain it) is to lead a “movement”. It is the logical extension of every new generation’s “All those people on X were corrupt and unethical and lying to you. Us here on Y are here to speak truth to you and will never let our opinions be bought. So make sure you like, comment, and subscribe and make sure to use my affiliate code in World of Tanks”
In a lot of ways? Concorde broke the gaming world. It was a game that drew a LOT of hate for having “non-sexy” female models and also suffered from being incredibly “meh” so nobody felt a real need to defend it. But it let the chuds actually “cancel” a game. Which aligned well with all of the various reasons Black Myth Wukong became The Most Important Video Game To Ever Exist.
So now all the influencers who want their own armies to harass and torment anyone they consider competition are trying to get in on that. Lots of verbiage shifts from “Wow, this game is horrible because those devs hate you. Unlike me who loves you” and more “Wow, this game is horrible and those devs don’t deserve to exist and people need to know not to waste their money on this” that translate to Call To Action style movements.
After this one we got the prison unlocked, but decided to save that for next time we play.
Some advice for when you do: If you get stuck in a cell block during a hunt, the ghost can’t see through cells for some reason so locking yourself in one isn’t a terrible idea. Good luck. Medium maps are a big step up in difficulty, and a lot of people hate prison, though I myself enjoy it a lot.
We played a match today a little bit and that was what I ended up doing (after I triggered a hunt with the Monkey’s Paw). I locked myself in and held the door.
I find them really valuable. Before buying a game, I’ll skim 10 or so reviews, both positive and negative, to find what it’s good and bad at. If the negative reviews are all stuff I don’t care about and the positive reviews excite me, I’ll probably get it. But if the negative reviews consistently mention something that’ll bother me, I’ll pass.
What? Just sort reviews by most helpful and set it to a timeframe that is relevant for you.
I make sure to rate helpful reviews or leave them myself, so there are definitely people out there trying to help make the actually relevant, non-loweffort-meme reviews that contain illuminating information rise to the top.
Review bombing is so stupid. Steam reviews have been garbage for a long time, you'll barely find any useful reviews but they are diamonds in the rough. A lot of reviews are just people who shit all over things, try to be witty and whatever else. Then they'll come over to your reviews and mark them 'funny'.
Beyond all reason is great for this. Its 8v8 competitive multiplayer and anyone can pause and say hold up gotta check om my kid or whatever and everyone just waits and when they get back theres a countdown and its unpaused.
Ive never seen another game be that chill. Usually it turns into a shit.flinging fest.
Last time I actually heard of review bombing was for Helldivers 2. So for me it feels like there hasn’t been a big public review bombing event in a long time, and reviews can filtered by country, time, and there’s warnings when there are unusual spikes.
So for me no I had forgotten about it, since it hasn’t made headlines in a while.
Sometimes, the only way for players to get the developer’s attention is by doing something drastic like that. Not always, but many times. Because developers and publishers think Steam Review Scores are important for game sales (and I mean, they are, but maybe not as much as they seem to think).
Sometimes this comes from players in a different language complaining about bad translation or something.
Review Bombing, the term, is almost used to discredit when people have negative sentiment for something, and does nothing to explain why players may be doing it. Sometimes it is warranted, sometimes it isn’t. But most people are going to read that term and think “Ah, its just a bunch of whiney children,” only to later feel frustrated at the things those negative reviews were talking about.
I just enjoy sharing the screenshots mostly. Honestly I wish I could put more time into it. I have a huge cutting room floor of pictures and things I want to talk about in games that I just don’t get time too or just don’t make for very good discussion

Nope, because review bombing doesn’t exist on steam. You have to own the game to review it. A customer leaving a negative review is not review bombing.
I believe how it works is people buy the game, write the negative review and then refund it. Review bombing is not only definitely a thing but Steam have gone to great lengths to combat it, which would be odd if it was imaginary.
Pretty close to perfect in my experience. I don’t even bother to check on protondb to see if games run before trying them anymore and I almost never find anything that doesn’t work. Off the top of my head the only things I know of that don’t work are things with really aggressive anticheat like Fortnite that intentionally detect and block players on Linux.
Don’t see why you wouldn’t be just fine. I am playing Dune Awakening right now on my Linux machine. There’s the proton db website to help if you run into issues, but I haven’t had any so far. If I have a problem with a game, I usually force it to an older version of proton, or just fiddle with the versions and that usually fixes things.
Drives are cheap. Get a new drive, pull out the windows drive and put in the new blank drive and install linux and give it all a try. I just bought a new gaming laptop and the first thing I did before powering it up was swap out the nvme drive to a larger empty one and installed PopOs to match my desktop machine. It’s working just fine.
Most will be fine, except for some recent multiplayer stuff with invasive anti-cheat whose publishers choose to go out of their way to prevent us Linux users from being their customers.
areweanticheatyet.com is another good resource to consult, I actually mostly use this site these days. As long as anticheat isn’t involved, I reasonably assume proton will run the game wonderfully.
This ☝️. Very rarely I may have a temporary problem with Proton that usually gets fixed or patched but if it’s a MP game I always check this site first. I’ve been gaming on Linux exclusively for 2 years now.
