It isn't review bombing when the complaints are legitimate.

So it wasn't the bugs that went unfixed for about 20 of their "seasons", the cheaters that kept at it for years without being discovered and willingly showed their stuff after giving up the game for good, the report system being almost entirely placebo, nor their so-called events being the Mobile gacha "give us money to win this dumbass recolor in paint" type, but the battle pass being split in two that got "gamers" to pile on the negative reviews?

Pathetic. We really are a bunch of simpletons.

Seems like it could be that they didn't fix any of that and then decided to charge at least twice for the same experience. If it's not expensive people will accept flaws, but if they have glaring flaws and decide to increase the cost that'll piss people off. Or I could be wrong, I don't know what every gamer that gives it a bad review is thinking unlike your illustrious self.

I got banned from apex multiplayer on my main ea account when I wasn't even actively playing the game so I've already been boycotting it for years...

I got banned back in the day as well. They said I was cheating. Lost everything I had unlocked. Ditched the game right there.
