As expected, gamers were silent and raised their voices to show their disagreement.

C'mon editors.

The entire article sounds like it was AI generated. "Faced with this, Capcom was not indifferent."

To me, these look like ESL errors not AI errors. Content farms.

My silent anger at the editors has reached a fever pitch!

It is not within my doubts that there's a strong possibility that the writers were definitely paid by the word, wherein their compensation was tied to the length of the article (in words).

Can you say the same thing you just said, but in more words? Gotta earn your pay, you know.

This article is wrong. In the same update for RE: Revelations, they say they plan to re-release the same update once they fix a problem that was causing the game to crash (or maybe it was a DLC weapon that stopped working or something, I don't remember exactly, just that it caused a technical problem with the game big enough that they had to revert the update).

Capcom did not reverse the update becauae they "listened," they did it because they had to, and they already said they plan on releasing it again.

TL;DR They added DRM to old games, players rightfully annoyed, capcom reversed the decision.

Now they’ll just wait for the ruckus to die down and do it in a few months.

Is it really "review bombing" to leave a legitimate complaint?

If they change the game to a worse state than when you originally bought it, that seems pretty legit to me. I always thought that term referred to whenever the catalyst is something unrelated to the actual game.
