I am tempted to agree with you. I could see some theoretical scenario where some influencer with a large following convinces them to all review something poorly just because they say so. If that happened, I think it would be legitimate to call it review bombing. I don't think it's likely, mind you, that someone could convince a large enough group of people to do that without a valid reason. But it could theoretically happen.

Yeah, I wanted to ask about that. Is it "review bombing" if the complaints are legitimate? I thought review bombing was mass downvoting a game for reasons unrelated to the game, or for otherwise unreasonable reasons.
Shit that's a weird headline to read…
I know nothing about this game at all, but I will now judge it based entirely off the preview graphic on this post.
Hmmmm looks like an uninspired hero shooter with insufferable characters.
Anyone know how close I was?
This seems accurate :3
There is that, I suppose. Would just be nice if this self-centred speech pattern weren't a thing. I don't really see it in other English speaking countries, but all the time in US news and media.
I don't believe there was any specific API in use here, for virus scanning or not. I suppose maybe the device driver API? I am not a kernel developer so I don't know if that's the right term for it.
Crowdstrike's driver was loaded at boot and caused a null pointer dereference error, inside the kernel. In userspace, when this happens, the kernel is there to catch it so only the application that caused it crashes. In kernelspace, you get a BSOD because there's really nothing else to do.
While I agree with this, why is it in quotes? Who is OOP quoting? Like, would this be less convincing without the quotes?
I wish them luck. I'm sure MS is considering just closing the studio. :/
Hm, fair point. I personally hate external accounts because it makes your ownership of your purchase that little bit more tenuous. Your continued access is now contingent on Valve remaining extant and good, Epic remaining extant and… tolerable, and the game's servers, assuming EFD has those and offers no local / P2P option. Admittedly if that last is the case, you would hope if things fell through with Epic that the publishers would come up with some other solution, but I know it took a LONG time for most games that straddled the Steam+GFWL boundary to become playable again after GFLW died. And I'm not sure if they all did.
