Seems to be the only Bethesda game that Steam flagged for the review bomb.

EDIT: Check the comments for the tweet that sparked the stupid outrage. A screenshot from the newest Indiana Jones game.

Why? Is there a Charlie Kirk mod where you get to press X to give him the finger while he's in the Demon Realm for his hateful spewing?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 hour ago

I don't even know which setting I am using for this

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 hours ago

I hope those people get a ban from reviewing games or something. I know it's difficult for some people to imagine, but most of us just want to know about the damn game.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 hours ago

They won't get banned but Steam will likely mark this wave as "Off-topic review activity". When this happens you can toggle visibility of these reviews.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 40 minutes ago

Thanks I wasn't fully aware of this action, and it seems better for folks who want to game to escape. I'll be checking this setting shortly.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 hour ago

I reported some of those as "political argument that is unrelated to the game, developer or publisher", I don't think anything will happen tho

[-] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago

It doesn't happen immediately but it does happen.

A few years ago, there was a wave of dumbfucks who would visit cosy games and spam "Woke" and "DEI" over and over in the forums/reviews. I don't even see it anymore.

Going to bet the edge lords got Shadow banned or something.

Sadly, steam heavily disagrees with this statement. They would rather have full opinions allowed regardless, and then delist them when reported as offtopic so they still appear, but don't show in the score.

I disagree with that mentality as well, since I'm sick of seeing games have shit reviews, then look at them and its because of something that the parent company did instead of it being about the game itself.

They do the same shit with steam discussions. I heavily think they should community ban people reported for using the clown reaction award with the intent to be rude or mean to the person they are awarding it to, and the people doing blatent circlejerk/rage baiting in the communities, but until it becomes a problem that risks them getting investigated again like before, they won't.

I disagree, there have been many times in the past where review bombing a game works out for the right reasons.

If there were more right wing idiots then they might've been successful

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 hours ago

Fascists.

We know fascists are idiots, but we have to call them by the praxis they act on, lest we slip to their tactics.

[-] [email protected] 136 points 6 hours ago

Wait till they find out that in Wolfenstein you get to kill tons of Charlie Kirk's in fun ways and celebrate each one of them with achievements and rewards ❤️

[-] [email protected] 45 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Kinda funny that Wolfenstein games didn't receive as many of these reviews as Doom Eternal. There's only 10 or so.

From Doom Eternal:

Charlie Kirk was not a fascist. Charlie Kirk was a father, a wonderful husband, and someone who wanted the best for everyone! When you want to get rid of someone, you accuse them of being a fascist! No one has betrayed this society more than you have!

[-] [email protected] 31 points 4 hours ago

I replied to that one lol

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 hours ago

Wanted the best for everyone but Paul Pelosi, women, minorities…

[-] [email protected] 20 points 6 hours ago

Who's is you? Has this game betrayed this country? So confused.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 4 hours ago

"No one deserved what you suffered"... well I have some good news for you, he didn't suffer a bit. He was unconscious and then dead before anyone could get to him

[-] [email protected] 1 points 14 minutes ago

How dare you report on the truth. Im banning you from being a late night host.

[-] [email protected] 45 points 6 hours ago

"I do not support death cults" must be the epitome of clueless irony.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago

Kirk is part of an apocalyptic former death cult (cult status lost due to population size).

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 hours ago

well tbf bethesda did fuck up by deleting it therefore implying they actually have a point even though they definitely dont

[-] [email protected] 2 points 12 minutes ago

Wasn't it a Twitter post? Marketing firms do that all the time. And it's Twitter, so nothing lost.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

yea but that's also PR 101, something causing bad PR? delete it. It would have been worse leaving it up as well because that shows a "we know that people can see a potential connection and we don't care and by not deleting it we agree with the connection"

Bethesda was in a Lose Lose here because regardless of their action, the crowd that was pissed about this would have been pissed, because in their eyes the connection is already solid.

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't

[-] [email protected] 53 points 6 hours ago

There are reasons to hate Bethesda but this isn't one of them

[-] [email protected] 43 points 6 hours ago

Somewhere in hell doom slayer is punching the inside of Charlie Kirk's skull

[-] [email protected] 24 points 6 hours ago

anybody know what the tweet said?

[-] [email protected] 86 points 6 hours ago

It was a clip from the upcoming DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Indy sees a cat, and says “You don’t care much about these Fascists, do you?”

Of course insane people assumed this was about Charlie Kirk.

[-] [email protected] 56 points 6 hours ago

Major “if the shoe fits” moment there

[-] [email protected] 49 points 6 hours ago

I think it's this one. As others said, the picture is Indy talking to the cat, saying "You don't care much about these Fascists, do you?" - https://www.thegamer.com/bethesda-indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-charlie-kirk-tweet-deleted/

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

It’s a trailer with one clip of Indy saying this. Them taking offense to this says far more about them than it does about Bethesda or Indiana Jones.

[-] [email protected] 49 points 6 hours ago

Still baffles me that is the same crowd that would scream "snowflakes" and do this sort of mental gymnastic LMAO

[-] [email protected] 27 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

That's how fascists operate. Learn their DisVic, learn RMVP.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 6 hours ago

The quartering popping up for a post mocking fascists. So weird

[-] [email protected] 2 points 19 minutes ago

He should follow through on his name amd get quartered

[-] [email protected] 20 points 6 hours ago

It was a screenshot from the Indiana Jones game of Indy petting a cat saying "You don't care much for these fascists, do you?" They captioned the screenshot with "good kitty".
