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?
I don't even know which setting I am using for this
IDK but please figure it out and then LMK
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.
I hear you but I disagree, I absolutely support the right to use means like reviews to boycott companies. It's just being done for all the wrong reasons here
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.
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.
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
Same here, I reported them all for "Political argument that is unrelated to the game, developer or publisher"
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.
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
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.
The context surrounding a game is important, though. these are just Nazis and should have their opinion disregarded, but all of Nintendo's slop should be hated purely for the context of Nintendo being evil. any developer than stands for good things should also get a boost in positive reviews too (although that doesn't happen enough, maybe because the only ones i can think of off hand are just good regardless?).
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 ❤️
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:
I replied to that one lol
Wanted the best for everyone but Paul Pelosi, women, minorities…
Who's is you? Has this game betrayed this country? So confused.
We know fascists are idiots, but we have to call them by the praxis they act on, lest we slip to their tactics.
"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
That's really the worst news to come out of this whole event. Hopefully the folks down in naraka let him know full well what happened and why he's there.
How dare you report on the truth. Im banning you from being a late night host.
"I do not support death cults" must be the epitome of clueless irony.
Kirk is part of an apocalyptic former death cult (cult status lost due to population size).
There are reasons to hate Bethesda but this isn't one of them
well tbf bethesda did fuck up by deleting it therefore implying they actually have a point even though they definitely dont
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
It's pr 101 because any advanced class would tell you to keep it up anyway. If they take it down the validate the backlash. If they keep it up they can either undermine the backlash or ride it higher if there are less nazis than there are normal people. There is also a problem with taking it down: the nazis are kinda correct that Bethesda is anti nazi, Indiana Jones and Wolfenstein? Yeah, they demonstrably have no love for their ilk and cowering away from that won't help them.
I don't agree that any advance class would contradict the beginner class. Being said, yea they could keep it up, they would be riding it right into the open flames, but they could. Them taking it down takes it off radar, the source material is no longer there, and any potential misunderstanding while will temporarily take heat for the people saying "yea see it was taken down obviously that's the meaning", but then what? there's no source material. Doubling down on your statement will create /more/ material for the targeting group, so not only is the original source available, now the double down "this is what we meant by this" will be available, which will do everything /but/ calm the flames down because those groups are definitely not going to change their mind from a corporate account saying "This is not what we mean't".
You can't win with PR like this, your best option is to not play, and in this case it's just removing the content regardless of intent.
Wasn't it a Twitter post? Marketing firms do that all the time. And it's Twitter, so nothing lost.
Somewhere in hell doom slayer is punching the inside of Charlie Kirk's skull
anybody know what the tweet said?
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.
Major “if the shoe fits” moment there
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/
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.
Still baffles me that is the same crowd that would scream "snowflakes" and do this sort of mental gymnastic LMAO
That's how fascists operate. Learn their DisVic, learn RMVP.
The quartering popping up for a post mocking fascists. So weird
He should follow through on his name amd get quartered
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".
