This is far too many Steam forums lately, and I don't know why or what hurt these people. If you ask the Steam forums, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failed because it went woke and hired some diversity consultancy firm that only these people know the name of and hold up as the antichrist.
You mean to say that you didn't already know what Sweet Baby Inc. ~~really weird name by the way~~ is before some chuds declared them to be the biggest bad influence to human culture?
Right. I'm afraid to start googling for the answer, but I suspect there's an Alex Jones type, or the equivalent that cares about video games, basically painting them as the George Soros of video games.
You don't leave a detailed review unless you want to support the artist in question or you fucking hated it so much that you would take the time to warn others away or you want to be intentionally confrontational and act like a troll. In a huge game like bg3 or Suicide Squad the artist support is fractured at best so all your left with is the bile
These aren't the reviews, they're the forums. Used to be you could ask a question and get an answer from a fan or often times the developers. Now it's just people crying about games being "woke", as though that word actually means anything anymore, even in a game as near-universally beloved as BG3. But you can find the same thing happening in Starfield, Suicide Squad, or even Skullgirls.
Forums have always had losers and trolls dwelling there, the issue is the helpful people went elsewhere like discord, reddit, and the fediverse.
The reviews are 96% positive, the forums are filled with toxicity past comparison.
