    People stating their displeasure is not "review bombing".Review bombing is a co-ordinated attack wherein people make as many accounts as they can and leave negative reviews, usually done by shady developers and/or players of other similar but less successful games or disgruntled redditors who get banned and can't handle it. Stop feeding into the misuse of the term.

    Anytime a game gets bad reviews or a movie or tv show "it's been review bombed" nowadays. It can't ever be cause people didn't like something about it heaven forbid.

    Doubling the monthly price of an aging title probably deserves getting review bombed.

    There is no additional content with can be delivered month in and month out to warrant that sort of increase, especially since the players are unlikely to agree what that added value needs to be.

    $20 a month is steep in my eyes.

    "review bombed." What a joke. One of these days Sam Plaisance (the writer of this article) will adopt a critical thinking mind when he grows up and learn for himself that consumers have the privilege to post a negative review on a PRODUCT when the corporation behind the product drastically change pricing or essentially the value proposition.

    I'm sure millions of these types of articles are being curated across the web at the behest of operation: damage control by EA. As is tradition.

    Today the media lives to dramatise everything because that's how you get clicks, does not matter if its gaming news or political news. Issues are negativity, negativity is hate. Questionable reviews are poor reviews, poor reviews are review bombing. Liking a post becomes loving a post and so on.

    Funny thing. People will downvote and then swipe their credit card anyway. With titles like these it does not matter if they get downvoted to hell.

    In a world where Funcom was smart enough to remove the battle pass from future seasons of Conan Exiles, it's pretty clear that this is the next Waterloo of predatory monetization. First loot boxes, then microtransactions in general (a battle still ongoing).

    Could it be that consumers really are wising up?
