Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds was hit by a massive wave of negative reviews on Steam over the weekend. They appear to be the result of a great number of unhappy players in China, who are upset about advertisements showing up in-game.
Steam’s new histogram feature was introduced in September as a hedge against so-called “review bombings,” where a large number of users log negative reviews over a short period of time. They’ve rapidly turned into a kind online billboard where angry players can advertise their rage against a developer. The chart for Battlegrounds shows more than 20,000 negative reviews in just the past few days.
