Didn’t believe it until I saw it
So I’ve been seeing a couple of posts recently talking about how the game is getting review bombed by Genshin fans complaining about Natlan and other stuff like that. I didn’t really take this seriously and assumed that it was a couple of one off posts blowing the problem out of proportion. I decided to check out the reviews today because I got a ZZZ ad and saw that it was at 3.9 stars.
Opening the review section, I thought I was going to see people complaining about storage space, not loading/crashing, the works. The stuff that initially tanked the rating earlier on release. I was dead wrong.
Almost every single comment is just complaining about Natlan. ‘Racism’ this, ‘afraid of color’ that, ‘Melanin mafia’ and so forth. Legitimately, I think maybe 1 in every 80 comments is even talking about the game. I think I encountered maybe 2 instances of actual criticism during the entire scroll session, and that using the word very broadly.
I understand that it’s likely a bunch of 12 year olds who have too much time on their hands, but it still threw me for a loop to see that.
