It says not to leave "subjective bad reviews". As in, objectively bad is fine.
It also says you can't compare it to other games "maliciously." What the fuck does that even mean?
"Marvel Rivals is just as bad as Cyberpunk 2077 at launch."
???
We just have a give a positive spin
"The game is really good at sucking"
"This game would definitely win an honorary award for 'Games I don't Care About'"
"This Christmas I would gift the game to all my cousins whom I hate"
Good whom.
It's going to be relentlessly compared to OverWatch. It's basically an OverWatch clone with Marvel characters.
Oh my bad.
"It's just as bad as OverWatch 2."
Not being able to make satirical comments about any game-related material would mean nobody could say something like, "Controlling Iron Man feels like fighting Jarvis for control of the suit", or "Storm is as effective as a light breeze"
Care to clarify what is objectively bad? Like, an example
My understanding is that Digital Foundry type of performance review is fine, but comments on how the control feels laggy or the game is a lower-tier copycat of Overwatch are not okay.
In the context of a game, let's say a clearly outdated graphics engine that everyone can agree on looks very dated. Or game-stopping bugs. Constant crashes. Etc.
Game kills all life on earth when starting
