No satire? Guess anything on the internet is out of the question then.

Engaging or providing subjective negative reviews

What do they think a review is?! If they wanted an advertisement, buy an ad spot on Google ya cheap bastards.

Because they want the benefits of advertising with the power of word-of-mouth, all at the expense of free.

That they think they can get away with it is bananas to me.

I saw that line and immediately thought "oh ho ho, we have a loophole. This wasn't a subjective review, it was entirely objective. The game is objectively shit."

you can do a non subjective review.

Product X has Y thingamagingies which is better than their previous model and Z percent more than their competitors product

If you say "x and y is broken it not implemented yet" that's an objective negative review.

If both x and y are broken, then it's totally unplayable.

Y'all heard it here, this person says Marvels Rivals is unplayable. Do not preorder!

I actually looked into the game because I didn't know anything about it and figured I should inform myself a bit.

What makes this whole overreacting raging we are seeing here even more funny and ridiculous is that the game is going to be FTP. So basically, once released, anyone can go and try it out, for free, to see whether or not it's worth any investment by them.

So, yeah, if someone is offering you to pre-order this game, I definitely suggest you not buy it because they are trying to scam you.

Y'all heard it here, this person says Marvel's Rivals is a totally unplayable pay to win scam!
