To me “review bomb” implies giving a rating based on external or irrelevant factors. Giving a game a bad review because it doesn’t run correctly on your computer is perfectly valid and helpful to other users.
Star Wars Outlaws in particular received a temporary fix for crashing issues back in November. While Microsoft and Ubisoft have been working on a fix, issues with games like Assassin’s Creed Origins still remain.
If a fix exists for other games and not this one and you’ve been negatively affected, that’s a 100% acceptable reason to give a “Not Recommend” review.
Yeah, the billion dollar game developer doesn’t have the resources to test preview editions of the only PC OS their game is designed for. They’re just a small startup of ~20k employees. How are they supposed to allocated anyone to patching a game from their most popular franchise?
You’re right, it’s the consumers fault for being biased.
That yes, it doesn’t bother me that Ubisoft is a consumer of Microsoft.
If Ubisoft doesn’t update their product, they should be reviews negatively. If they don’t like it they should de list it so people don’t pay money for a broken product.

It is due to an external factor - Microsoft

It ran fine since 2017 and got blindsided by MS. Anyone blaming Ubisoft is biased af, or has information not included in this article.

Brb gonna test those old 1995 games and if they don’t run on Windows 11 I’ll review bomb Eidos.
The game is an eight years old single player game. I doubt they had many people working on it anymore.
So, people should leave positive reviews for games that no longer work?
Like I get what your saying. It’s not Ubisoft’s fault.
But if they’re not going to fix their old game, than it should be reviewed negatively so people don’t spend money on a game that no longer works.
If they don’t want that, than delist it.
They do have the resources, they also have the expectation they won’t need to waste them on dumb shit MS breaks.
Ubisoft IS the consumer of MS products. But I guess your sympathies for consumers is only skin deep.
Companies aren’t people. So yes, my limit is “skin deep”.
(Not the person you replied to).
What a profound observation. Paperwork isn’t flesh. Amazing. What’s your point?
