    That’s not review bombing, that’s just leaving a negative review because the experience has turned negative.

    They should direct their complaints at MS if that’s what broke their game, but I don’t expect the average Assassin’s Creed player to understand the difference.

      Depends. Microsoft might be to blame indeed but I’ve seen several people saying Ubisoft has a habit of using undocumented non-public API.

      If they’re not supposed to use it to begin with, it’s their fault when it doesn’t work anymore. That would certainly explain why it happens to almost nothing but Snowdrop powered games.

        Maybe there are hairs to split about blame.

        But the review tells you if a game is worth buying, and if it doesn’t work - it’s not worth buying. Doesn’t matter who is responsible. The negative reviews are valid.

      What a stupid argument lol. Was this made by a 12yo?
