I hope this is partly to deal with review bombing, but I also hope it doesn’t completely hide review bombing.

It can be really helpful to know that there is a social media shitstorm around a game.

But sometimes the shitstorm is a bunch of basement dwellers getting mad over nothing, and it makes it hard to see actual opinions about the game.

Some review bombs are for legit reasons. I've seen a few for games that dropped support for a language well after release.

Wasn't it helldivers 2 that region-locked people months after release?
