Review bombing is not "stating your opinion". It's malicious.

(Edit to add: one of the big reasons for crunch is trying to squeeze work out of a fixed amount of money, which is the whole point of this. Saying there shouldn't be crunch is irrelevant.)

    Giving someone a bad review is stating ng your opinion, telling others to do the same is more of the same, just like you've done here.

    The reason for crunch is oversupply of employees who want to work in the industry or product. This doesn't happen where employees value their time, or there is a undersupply of talent.

    Games are not cheap when compared to other entertainment, and they involve the same magnitude of costs, these are businesses and crunch is exploiting talent.

    There is a bad actor here, but it's not the customer.

    Review bombing is not the same as just giving a bad review

    If your product or treatment of customers is so bad they'd go to the trouble to create multiple accounts to give you bad reviews. Maybe you deserve it.

    Maybe just maybe they are saying review bombing but they just mean bad reviews. There is no evidence in that article that stream has detected review bombing meaning single person or bot flooding their page with bad reviews.
