    For a laugh, review games on Google Play. The asinine responses you get…

    The most ridiculous one was for a pay-to-win bullethell game WITH NO BULLETS. You literally just effortlessly shot at enemies with virtually no way to die. But you could pay stupid sums of money for a better ship which killed enemies faster.

    The dev’s response to my review calling their game overpriced and boring? “Join the discord so you can get tips from top players”

    I had a dev respond to me 5+ years after a review saying they had fixed the problems I mentioned. Now I have to download the game and play it again or I have no balls. God damn devs holding us accountable.

      I think some people keep playing the same game long beyond the point where it stops being fun.

      I will say that games aren’t static any more so there are legitimate reasons why this might occur. For instance, I had over 100 hours in a game and then the devs decided they liked money more than their player base so they retroactively added a bunch of micro-transactions to the game. The game had been fully released at this point and they just updated it to milk more money out of their player base. Bad updates can ruin the experience in what had once been a good game.

    Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.
