This is similar to YouTube removing the dislike button, Twitter banning prominent counter culture influencers, and Facebook sanitizing all information. They want to be able to lie and gaalight you into believing that their lies and bad products are actually good and popular.

Mega corporations and governments love to silence dissent, especially when people start catching on.

Your entire comment is the opposite of "loving and heartwarming"

That's the problem with your side of this discussion, you can't possibly fathom why someone would disagree with your world-view, and so you insult and "other" everyone just like real life hate groups do.

Every "review bomb" is a metric that devs should pay attention to. It consists of people that will not be purchasing the game, and usually a group of at least 5-10 other individuals in that person's circle that won't be buying either.

Game devs opting to self insert and pander to a demographic that makes up a sliver of the game buying base in exchange for millions of dollars in revenue seems pretty simple.

Insert your political agenda into games at your own peril.

Sleep with who you want, marry who you want, and cut off whatever body parts you wish, but the rest of us aren't interested in your lifestyle and politics in video games and will vote with our wallets.
