      It wasn’t the Doomguy, but his grandpa I think. Unless I missed some lore updates in the meantime.

    Steam will flag this as a point of off topic reviews, and by default will be filtered out of affecting the review score that users see.

    Personally, I like to look at these points of off topic reviews to see if a company has done some stupid shit that I want to avoid them for (like the recent fiasco with gearbox and the mandatory spyware, or everything ea has ever done ever). Every once in a while though, I get to laugh that fascists are mad.

      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:

      Charlie Kirk was not a fascist. Charlie Kirk was a father, a wonderful husband, and someone who wanted the best for everyone! When you want to get rid of someone, you accuse them of being a fascist! No one has betrayed this society more than you have!

            Israel breeds and trains dogs to attack and kill Palestinians. They celebrate their breeding program, so yes fascists can love dogs.

          One of those is not like the others. I have as much sympathy for the billionaire who made bank doing insider trading while creating the conditions for fascism to fester getting beaten with a hammer by a fascist as the fascist who got a new breathing hole while trying to blame school shootings on trans people and black people.

            I mean my point was just that he didn’t want what’s best for everyone when he was saying they should bail out the dude that attacked Paul Pelosi.

              When you’re paying taxes on multiple 10s of million in income a year, for decades, its not a huge leap to assume you’re certainly in the 100 millions, and quite possibly in the billions.

      Right-wingers are mad that Bethesda posted a picture of a cat on the internet. Indian Jones pets it and says “You don’t like these fascists, do you.”

            A Bollywood-style IJ movie would actually be pretty awesome. Wouldn’t be that hard to beat Crystal Skull, and Ford - though a great actor in his prime - has mostly been running on name-power these days.

            Maybe they can have an Indian version where a certain political cult is trying to sacrifice people

            “Well heck, the guy stayed alive an the heard was still beatin when they ripped it out in the YouTube video. Jed, you sure we got the words right?”

        It’s the new setting valve put in to separate reviews of different languages, there’s a setting that lets you pick a primary language(s), and if you’d like on topic and those languages displayed for you, or all reviews regardless of topic.

    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.

      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.

        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?).

      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.

        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”
