It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

People will buy it, review, and then get a refund within the return window.

I was thinking that after I commented. Sounds right.

That does sound like review bombing then. People elsewhere in the thread are arguing about definitions.

I read those conversations. I wouldn't call this review bombing. This is people buying it and being upset with the product, then leaving a review and returning it.

That's part of what a review system is meant for.
