This is one reason I've effectively stopped caring about steam review bombs. People review bomb over the stupidest shit and never change their review if the tiny issue is fixed
Buying a game because it claims it is available in your language and then getting served an awful, nonsensical translation is absolutely not a stupid reason to leave a bad review.
This will be fixed in a week or two, but 80% of the reviews will not change. That's just what review bombers do. Many buy the game to jump on the band wagon and refund the game. Review still counts.
Yeah, that's a consequence of putting out a flawed product. Who cares?
In this one case, it kinda sucks for the devs since they presumably had no way of knowing they were releasing a flawed product. It was probably the translator that fucked them over.
Don't sell to markets you don't understand. I don't feel sorry for them, even as a big Hollow Knight fan.
I don't even understand how that logic is supposed to work. Fuck every localisation attempt, then? 99% of games will be English only?
