    You forgot

    An update was recently released that didnt change the game in a way some long-term players wanted, and they’re angry they fell for hype from streamers and are taking it out on the devs instead.

    Or, as we recently saw in helldivers

    An update was recently released with a bad translation, and gave players an expectation they could do something that they couldn’t, and it became politicized

      You both forgot

      An update proposal was recently released that didnt change the game

      Like we just saw with Darktide. Some proposed balance changes for 2 of the most overpowered outlier weapons were accidentally leaked in the Chinese version of patch notes and they ignited a review bomb by that player base that made its way to others once translated.

      This took the game from a recently clawed back mostly positive back to mixed.

      The game is in an even worse balance state now that Arbites has released, but this reaction to the proposal of change was one of the most outlandish things I’ve seen in my gaming life. It will almost certainly affect Fatsharks already timid stance on proper game balance.

      HD2 unwarranted outcries at least always come from something actually happening to the game. This was just an idea of a possible change.
