      No, it’s still a review because you’re still actively dealing with whatever it is you’re complaining about.

      "Hey, I really like/liked the core game play loop of this game but I think that it’s gotten significantly worse than it was previously. It’d be nice if they changed it back?

      4/10."

      Plenty of people leave negative reviews for games they otherwise play. Especially where big changes are put into effect

          That’s depends on the business model. For one-off payment games, it still does considerable damage, whereas they don’t gain much by you continuing to play.

          For subscription games, your point stands much stronger.

            It’s a free to play multiplayer game. If you continue playing it, you’re providing value for some other player who might spend money, so just by being in the matchmaking pool, they’ve got you where they want you, and they won’t care about your review.

      So overwatch 2 is objectively terrible, but putting that aside for a moment…

      Can you seriously not envision a scenario where you personally do a thing (maybe even enjoy that thing), but still wouldn’t recommend it to others?

          Ah okay I see you’re the kind of kid who answers a question with a question. 🤦‍♂️

          Enjoy picking petty fights over… who likes which video game better. Not really my dig kiddo

            Yes, I answered your question with a question because your scenario was as absurd as you perceived mine to be. So I’ll answer yours directly: “yes, but not at that scale”. Because at that scale, it’s a review bomb.
