That's exactly what happened with GTA 5, where single-player mods were targeted by Take-Two, so the game got review-bombed, which directly affects the gameplay.
I think review-bombing is absolutely necessary and I hate the new system (well it's quite old now) because if I see a game has been review bombed I want to know why. I don't need a corporation to exclude viewpoints or opinions it feels customers shouldn't see organically.
If a corporation is engaging in promoting globohomo content I would rather see the review bombs up front and make an informed decision based on that.
Not everyone is a braindead coonsumer who simply cares about controls/graphics/story and would support a developer even if they trafficked the player's entire family into third-world hard labor.
This kind of CCP-style censorship is basically used to muzzle the only option customers have to fight back against politically oriented corporate BS.

It comes down to whether or not you trust a company, any company, to decide what you see. Why would anyone?
