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 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
Lol I was just going to bring that up
I don’t get it
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.
Thank you!
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
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.
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.
Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.

Not sure if this is Crusader Kings or not
As of CK3, same sex marriages are allowed with a game setting, and I know same sex affairs were a thing in CK2. Enabling same sex marriages will disable achievements and at first I thought it was about historical accuracy, but it’s actually because it trivializes inheritance management.
No same sex marriages because of historical accuracy, but of course a bear married to a horse could rule the Holy Roman Empire.
You had to both have silly mode turned on and pretty aggressively exploit some coding oversights to make that happen, though.
steam discussions moment
At this point it’s “unmoderated comments section” moment. Pretty much all public spaces are infested with this stuff now.
What game was that!? Why does a roguelike even have marriage lmao
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
Outrageous! It’s terrible what people can force devs to do. I would like to apologize for my fellow human’s behavior personally; can you give me the name of the game and/or a download link? Or at least some screenshots, so I can, uh, be further outraged.
Dose it actually add a new way to blow the leafs?
That’s a set of some of the best DLC I’ve seen in any game.
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 too have played MMOs.
I was thinking more in line with Paradox games, but your version works too.
Every MMO on steam is at mixed with negative reviews from 1000 hour players lol. Stop doing this to yourselves!
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.
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”
Well we need an update… Did you join? Did you get any good tips???
The tip is: Buy the bigger ship.
Me, when Bethesda replies to a negative review:
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.
Once I reviewed a $3 game and got the dev to add the frog character in the sequel lol

3000 hours played
Game is shit! Thumbs down 👇
Me: “???”
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.
Why are you conflating time in a game with the game being good?
Its called war thunder
To be fair it could also be league of legends or destiny 2
Nice profile picture!
Haha thank you!
I think some people keep playing the same game long beyond the point where it stops being fun.
The reply: Thanks for the money dipshit
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
The best one on when the reviews are can incoherent.
Best one I saw was
thus tame should be free , there are orth gmes lime thisone and they are not as good
Tuer word nnver soken
how did they spell ‘like’ as “lime”??? there’s two keys between ‘k’ and ‘m’!!!
K and M are neighbors on QWERTY

Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.
Nice profile picture!
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 got so mad playing your video game. 30 hours of my life
