Does the same logic apply to the “woke nonsense” reviews for The Last of Us Part 2 when it was released, or any media featuring a minority group for that matter?
Well, I’m not going to pretend you don’t have a point. Anything popular enough is going to attract some sort of hate. But I’d argue that being woke is not enough to get your game review bombed.
My point to OP was that review bombing is, by definition, malicious. Sure, some companies can claim their game was “review bombed” because they don’t like the legitimate criticism of their game, but what it really is, is when bad actors leave fake reviews because they don’t like the game for reasons beyond the mechanics or systems.

Gamers love woke nonsense. 🤷

They literally turned the game into spyware and are distributing it by giving it away for free. How does that fit your description in any way?
It’s a form of protest. And like with all protests, some are right, some are wrong. It’s not always bad actors.
