How to move on from V&V

A lot of the reviews are written in a way that seem, suspiciously, like they were well aware of what they were buying, and are trying to review bomb the DLC – just like you said you would do 9 days ago:

TwerDefender (9d)

I can live with them calling all of these scenarios combined a “campaign”, even though this isn’t what most of us meant when we asked for more campaigns.

What I can’t stomach, is that this is still a complete rip-off at this price. This contains only 4 or 5 new scenarios, but even if you count all those minor reworks as “new” it is still so much less than a normal DLC at the same price. This is incredibly steep shrinkflation, being an effective price increase of 100% at least.

I am going to buy this, leave a bad steam review and then refund. We can’t let them get away with shit like this.

Yeah, the reviews I see look a lot like forum posts we saw here leading up to the DLC’s launch. Well-informed, well-prepared write-ups all commenting in the same way we saw here for weeks. There are a couple authentic-looking ones, but quite a few suspicious ones, in my opinion.

Those reviews may be justified… and probably are if that’s how everyone feels about it… but I guess maybe give it some time to see if people who actually keep it and play it longer than two hours give some reviews that trickle in that are more positive. (I think 2 hours is the max time you can play a game on Steam before asking for refund, iirc)
