Summary

Moon Studios CEO takes issue with the negative reviews of No Rest for the Wicked.
He argues that Steam shouldn't allow users to leave their reviews blank or keep up reviews from those who have refunded the game.
Despite complaints about review bombing, No Rest for the Wicked has mostly positive reviews.

Over the weekend, a Discord message from Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler gave the🥀 impression that the developer was in trouble. Speaking to his community, he encouraged fans to leave positive reviews on the team's latest game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:No Rest for the Wicked, suggesting that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Moon Studios could go out of business if not.

Now, Mahler was not pleased with these comments being shared around, saying that the company is not in any "immediate financial danger", and that he was instead referring to the more general struggles in the industry. However, he still wants Steam to do something about the negative reviews on No Re🐈st for the Wicked, taking particular issue with those that don't list their grievances with the game.

Moon Studios Isn't Pleased With Steam's Handling Of Negative Reviews

"Maybe I'm crazy, but I just don't think this should be allowed," says Mahler, sharing screenshots of Stꦗeam reviews that have left the text box blank. "Really? You put 60 hours into the game and can't be arsed to even wr🍌ite one sentence about what bothered you? Who exactly benefits from that?"

On top of this, Mahler also suggests that Steam should not allow users to keep their negative review up if they refund the game. As it stands, users can refund a game if they 🀅have less than two hours of playtime, but the review they leave will show t🌠hat they received a refund.

Th🍷is is far from all that Mahler has said on the matter. In a , he claimed that No Rest for the Wicked was receiving negative reviews for the personal grievances that some have with him, such as Moon Studios' neutrality on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite both this and his previous claims that the game i🦩s being review-bombed, No Rest for the Wicked has mostly positive reviews on Steam.

No Rest for the Wicked is in early access, having released on Steam in April of last year. Console rel💦eases are expected at launch.
