MindsEye co-CEO claims there's a 'concerted effort' to trash the game ahead of its release: 'I do KNOW that there are bot farms posting negative comments and dislikes'

The new game from former Rockstar producer Leslie Benzies is out in less than two weeks.

I have never even heard of it so i doubt it.
- This is a good introduction thread for anyone interested
  
  i wish him the best in his quest to prove that actually, the game is a masterpiece and people are paid by rockstar to shit on it
Does it matter who says what before it's released? If it's good people will review it on release and say it's good. If it's bad people will play it and say it's bad.
- It kind of does, early reviews and sentiment can have a big impact on how well the game does long term.
  
  I understand it does, but I'm arguing that sentiment shouldn't matter before there's any reviews. There are no early reviews yet.
- A lot of gamers, just like movie goers, do pay attention to reviews. If you have limited funds, especially as games get more expensive, you may pay more attention to what the community says prior to purchase.
  
  If you're arguing against me I'm trying to say the same thing as you :) I'm saying wait for actual reviews after the game is released. Right now we have the developer saying it's a good game and people online who say it's bad based on some pre release footage which neither have any real merit.
If he KNOWS, he should make it public and PROVE it. Everything else i file away under misinformation. Thanks.
Why would anyone bother?
