    Ha! The game is still fun, but that serves them right, lol. I don’t pay for someone to advertise to me.

    This reminds me when Splash damage put Ads in-game for ET:QuakeWars (2007). They could change the Ads on the fly. They monitored how long players looked at the Ads. After finding that out, i canceled my gamestop pre-order for that game. Like most games made by Splash-Damage, that game player base died fast.

    Good.
     
    Instead of a lazy non story about "review bombs" which obviously is supposed to denote a negative connotation towards negative reviews as not being legit they should have done a story about why consumers are upset. Who am I kidding though this is vidya land where consumers are always wrong and game developers have to do x to feed their starving children.

    H1Z1 retread. It's the current flavor of the month, that will be surpassed when the next retread comes along.

    I went back and read it after I posted this, my mistake.   I remember reading about it now a few weeks ago when it first happened.  I am curious if Steam should set regional ratings.   It was interesting to read that when they play on US servers, it causes issues here.  You would think that the netcode would be managed differently to prevent that.
