>You can’t bot it unless you are ready to spend thousands of $$$.
By this point I wouldn't be surprised if some did. It's a pretty tiny price to sway an entire public's opinion.
But i think the more realistic issue here is brigading. Gamers can easily coordinate together and use their accounts to post/change their reviews simply because "[social media] told me to"
>This plus the playtime tag next to the review arguably makes it more valuable than the often bought out “gaming journalist” crowd’s opinion.
As long as people don't read the actual reviews and they simply look at a number or blue/red text, the core issue doesn't change. Review bombs wouldn't work if people weren't so shallow about how they research their purchase.

But I suppose that's a bigger can of worms.
