It is due to an external factor - Microsoft
If a fix exists for other games and not this one and you've been negatively affected, that's a 100% acceptable reason to give a "Not Recommend" review.
Then maybe you should revise your comment to say external factors are valid
That's not an external factor. It's the absence of a patch in the game.
I feel like you don’t know what an external factor is
The game was in a working state, an update by an external company for an external application (the OS) caused the issue
What state is the game currently in for these users? Not working. Why would they recommend it?
Then maybe you should revise your comment to say external factors are valid
It's literally not external.
Oh so they pushed the Windows update that broke it
Sorry, my mistake
Is the game supposed to work on Windows? Does it?
The version of Windows it was released on, it would be silly to think it includes future versions
I'm not going to discuss this any more. This is a perfectly acceptable review of the game. Seeing mixed or negative scores for recent reviews is important for potential buyers. Ubisoft has made patches for other games affected by this but not this one. This is not review bombing.
I wouldn’t call it review bombing either nor would I call it an illegitimate review
I would say that your definition of review bombing is incorrect as we can both agree the above is legitimate and caused by an external factor
If you agree this isn't review bombing, what the fuck are you even arguing about??? 🙄 It's not external. It's the game crashing. External would be something like "I don't like this company's CEO so I'm giving it a bad review."
It’s external, the issue was not created by a game update, an OS update caused it
Still not a review bomb
