Hi-Fi Rush, a highly successful game by Tango Gameworks, is being reversed review bombed in protest over Microsoft sudden closure of the studio.
What is reverse review bombing?: Instead of negative reviews, users bombard the game with positive reviews.
This week Microsoft closed multiple studios as part of a division wide shake up. The decision was met with tremendous backlash by the gaming community, commentators, and media.
One fan took it as far as nuking Phill Spencer’s base in Fallout 76. Although we hear Phill is planning a retaliatory strike.
Plenty of hidden gems under Hi-Fi Rush review tab on Steam. Here are some examples that I liked:
“RIP Tango Gameworks and f*** Microsoft and corporate greed, people lose their jobs and their passion because a greedy executive wants to buy themselves another yacht.”
“Tango, Arkane Austin, and everyone affected today didn’t deserve this.”
Unfortunately, the shake up at Microsoft’s Xbox division isn’t complete. More restructuring will take place in July, Brad Sams reported earlier.
