    Review bombing is the only impactful way in recent years that has worked against these large publishers. Plus Overwatch is F2P so the old trick of just saying don’t buy it doesn’t work, they will still get a player base with giant “whales”.

    Edit: Never played the game btw

      Last I checked the game was 13th highest in revenue globally on steam according to the stats available on steam. So the negative reviews don’t seem to be making much impact at all. They still seem to be pulling in plenty of money from their MTX and the bundles available through steam.

      Remember these companies only look at the funny profit line. If that goes up despite negative reviews then nothing will change.
