Gaijin Entertainment has removed the mention of Steam from War Thunder‘s website following review bombing.
As spotted by PCGamesN, the War Thunder website no longer displays the mention of Steam alongside its other platforms. This follows a series of review bombings after in-game economic changes that would potentially make the game harder to play without spending real money.
Even though Gaijin said it would be reversing the changes, the developer went on to remove Steam from its website even though the game is still playable on the platform.
“Review bombing does damage to the game in that new players simply won’t try it, while it doesn’t raise their awareness of the problems you’ve noticed,” said Gaijin. “If your goal is not to hurt the game, please use other, less destructive ways.”
The Steam page now shows the game rated “Overwhelmingly Negative” at over 84,000 recent reviews; while general reviews show the game to be “Mixed”.
