    Doesn’t matter the reviews or review bombing to Blizzard. The fact remains that no matter how actually shitty the game is Blizzard is making record profits off of the game.

    That’s all Blizzard looks at these days. Is it making them money? And the answer is an abundant yes. So for whatever hate there is, the fact that players are still handing them fistfuls of cash indicates full success to them.

      I guess this could be a glass half full kind of situation.

      But they also are not making as much money as they could have if they delivered on a good game. Even if they got only 5% of steam, that is still 95% of steam that didn’t buy it.

      Sure, you can make the argument that they still got into a new market. However, if your product was scientifically engineered to appeal to the most demographics, then only 5% of that market is concerning.

      Review bombing doesn’t actually help anyone, it just makes people question the validity of user reviews in general.

      If they’re making record profits why did they decide to come to steam?

      I think their player numbers have dropped and they’re trying to boost them.
