The dev stood up to leftists, so they review bombed his game. This is actual review bombing since it’s 100% the result of his personal politics and has nothing to do with the actual game content. I’m assuming that increasingly woke Valve is doing fuck all to help him.
Oh gab is a gigantic lefty retard, but he doesn’t seem interested in turning steam into an overtly political platform. I imagine the vultures will quickly move to remedy this when he’s gone.
I don't like Epic that much anymore (fuck your ugly women's day sky update, fuck your "Support Ukraine" banner and fuck your "non-binary" skin) but I never understood why every competitor to Steam was ripped apart.
The whole Epic vs Steam thing was part of what ran me away from normie gaming forums way back before I even paid attention to game politics. I mean I didn't care for the Epic business practices but you were not allowed to criticize Steam at all it seemed like. There were so many people around that just got back from a steamfag orgy with a fresh case of newellpox. Why do they like Steam so much? I don't even like it's user interface most of the time.
With epic, it’s Tim Sweeney moaning about it being a monopoly (it’s not, ea had origin, ubisoft with uplay, activision blizzard the blizzard launcher, gog, etc). Then moaning about the steam 30% cut, which had been the standard cut for most markets whether online or brick and mortar. Then epics policy of paying for exclusivity for their store. Actually strong arming people to their store and targeting devs who had previously announced a steam release. All for the experience of EGS to be sub standard to all competitors, it took them years for a shopping cart to be added, despite having one for their engine marketplace in the same launcher. Anti user reviews (ironically that would prevent this review bombing, but they were pro putting mainstream reviews). Scanning your steam friends list without your permission. All in all it all read as a mega corp moaning they weren’t getting the largest cut, forcing users to buy from them, and claiming they did this for the good of the consumer, all while having less features than steam including a ton I did not list as an example. The 40% Tencent ownership is just icing on the anti epic cake.
I went a poked around briefly, and it seems to be related to people reviewbombing it because the dev snuck some conservative views in the patch notes.
Here's an example negative review:
Quote from the OFFICIAL PATCHNOTES "v1.3.18 BETA":
"TAKE OFF THE ♥♥♥♥ MASKS - Next time you're at the grocery store, try showing a woman your face.
Be confident, unafraid of the LIES -- you might get a girlfriend.
Women like confidence. Women don't like dudes who cover their faces in fear.
What are you afraid of? Getting laid? Grow up."
...this was written by the dev in the patch notes.
Most of the review bombs are by regressive leftists who are bashing him for his political views. They are also claiming he pulled a DLC and split it up though there is barely any evidence for and against those claims though.
They claim he took content out of the game to resell it as dlc. Reality he tested features in the beta branch for said dlc and it was known that it was going to be dlc. This all stems from him making fun of face masks in a patch notes months ago. Some people have less than 30 minutes of playtime on their account.

I really bam dreading the day Gaben dies.
Gaben continues to donate to the DNC and the creator of the regressive leftist propaganda webcomic questionable content.

"But muh Epic is literally Tencent even though Valve is tied in just as deeply with Perfect World."

Mostly because other storefronts are embarrassingly terrible in terms of basic functionality, and there’s really no excuse for it.
