7:40 PMeathdemonnothing
7:40 PMeathdemonreviews are fair use lps arent

7:49 PMeathdemonwhat TB does if fair use, what PDP does isnt
7:59 PMeathdemonmostly only walking sims suffer from that
7:59 PMScottyJayManThat did happen with That Dragon, Cancer
8:01 PMeathdemonthat being said, I dont care about walking sims, so I dont care

8:11 PMeathdemonsteam doesnt allow you to revew games you dont owm
8:11 PMWarren LewisJack Thompson and Cooper Lawrence were review bombed.
8:12 PMeathdemonalso there are good reassons to revew bomb. for example china famulsy does it if a game is released there without translations
8:13 PMWarren LewisBoth were lying about videogames .
8:13 PMAndrew EisenRight, but unlike Thompson, Lawrence’s book had nothing to do with video games.
8:17 PMeathdemonnah I think not having localization is good reason to revew bomb
8:17 PMWarren LewisYou can’t even find Thompson’s book anymore?
