Dire Straits for Overwatch devs

In a recent acknowledgement, Overwatch 2 directors have expressed their dissatisfaction about the recent review bombing episodes on Steam.

Blizzard, the developers of the game, have had enough of the constant negativity shrouding their latest masterpiece.

The Origins: Cancellation of PvE Hero Missions

• The Problem: Unfortunately, the review bombing controversy stems from the cancellation of the much-anticipated PVE (Player Versus Environment) hero missions featured in the original 2019 announcement. Players believed that this aspect would increase the game’s replayability and depth.
• The Fallout: Fans showed their discontent by posting fake, overwhelmingly negative reviews about the game on Steam in an attempt to get Blizzards’ attention about the scrapped PvE gameplay.

• Why Gamers Do It: Unhappy gamers, eager for change, take matters into their own hands and vote with their thumbs (not literally, of course); they post fake reviews not only to express frustration and disappointment but also to, in their eyes, educate the developers about their gripes.
