I had a dev respond to me 5+ years after a review saying they had fixed the problems I mentioned. Now I have to download the game and play it again or I have no balls. God damn devs holding us accountable.

I left a negative review on a "AAA" game and the dev responded to it by gas lighting me that I didn't play it right.
TL;DR starfield sucks
Lol I was just going to bring that up
I don't get it
The joke is that people (including the main character/OP) feel comfortable criticizing others when those others don't know about the criticism, but as soon as they do, the anti-confrontational/cowardly/etc. part of them immediately regrets being critical.
Thank you!
Me, when Bethesda replies to a negative review:
i got in a fight with a small-time dev when they implemented marriages in a rogue like and allowed child marriages but not gay or interracial marriages
long story short the community exploded and he went full nazi on twitter and now the reviews are actually more positive but from 4chan weirdos calling child marriages based
Yes. That dev is changing the WORLD by fighting against all the woke jealous stupid libs who think you shouldn't be able to marry a child.
Smh. I'm so sick of these straight white dude Nazis acting like they are fighting thousands of years of oppression.
This was in 2016. But there was a indie game from a small dev in a European country that allowed backers to name NPCs, and there were some racist names. I called that out in my review, and the Dev went, "It's not racist here in my country."
That led to a back and forth on the Steam forum which I got banned. Then I shared it on Reddit, but was stupid to use the same steam name as my twitter name and got a lot of toxic shit.
I changed my steam name and tossed my twitter account, so no idea what happened, nor do I remember the game.
did they literally just imply that adding same sex marriages that the user has to initiate is the same as living under nazis?
My grandparents survived the nazis, my parents endured communism, I had to live through religious oppression since the age of 10, and now some spoiled brats think bend my knee to their rainbow flag, or else they'll type some words.
Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.

Not sure if this is Crusader Kings or not
As of CK3, same sex marriages are allowed with a game setting, and I know same sex affairs were a thing in CK2. Enabling same sex marriages will disable achievements and at first I thought it was about historical accuracy, but it's actually because it trivializes inheritance management.
No same sex marriages because of historical accuracy, but of course a bear married to a horse could rule the Holy Roman Empire.
You had to both have silly mode turned on and pretty aggressively exploit some coding oversights to make that happen, though.
steam discussions moment
At this point it's "unmoderated comments section" moment. Pretty much all public spaces are infested with this stuff now.
What game was that!? Why does a roguelike even have marriage lmao
When it's "the" dev, give them a break.
Once I reviewed a $3 game and got the dev to add the frog character in the sequel lol

Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.
Nice profile picture!
Gta 5 doesn't allow linux users to play online anymore. Everyone from the linux community shat on them, especially because it was one of the top played games on deck. Where are my rockstar replies?
Rockstar is just asleep on the big pile of money that they got from the 100 people that bought shark cards every month since the release of GTAO and RDRO
Unfortunately they didn't buy enough RDRO gold for it to get nearly as much support as GTAO did. Which is a damn shame because that game was awesome with friends, for the little content it had
time spent in game when making a review: 600 hours.
I hate this game.
time spent in game after the review was written: 1400 hours.
I too have played MMOs.
Every MMO on steam is at mixed with negative reviews from 1000 hour players lol. Stop doing this to yourselves!
I think it's more they love the game, but hate a specific thing that happens in an update, like their favourite character/ability gets rightfully nerfed, so they throw a tantrum by giving negative review.
I was thinking more in line with Paradox games, but your version works too.
