I thought stream updated policies so that this time of foreign review bombing wouldn't be as apparent? (Reviews in your specific region counting)

Edit: they did. Still is very positive for everyone else

If they have a legitimate complaint (bad translation), it's not review bombing

Though it's not really relevant to anyone not speaking that language, even if it's not review bombing.

I actually don't know if it's Steam or Enhanced Steam but there's a way to filter reviews by language. It's really neat to see something like overwhelmingly positive in one country, and mixed/negative in another country.

Oh that's was a default steam change (for the better)

Got tired of seeing random Chinese bullshit review bombing because a non-foreign specific game didn't give enough glory to the CCP and china to appease nationalists
