Seems to be the only Bethesda game that Steam flagged for the review bomb.
EDIT: Check the comments for the tweet that sparked the stupid outrage. A screenshot from the newest Indiana Jones game.
Idiots tried to review bomb Doom Eternal because "Bethesda celebrated Charlie Kirk murder"

Wanted the best for everyone but Paul Pelosi, women, minorities…

One of those is not like the others. I have as much sympathy for the billionaire who made bank doing insider trading while creating the conditions for fascism to fester getting beaten with a hammer by a fascist as the fascist who got a new breathing hole while trying to blame school shootings on trans people and black people.

I mean my point was just that he didn’t want what’s best for everyone when he was saying they should bail out the dude that attacked Paul Pelosi.
PyroNeurosis 41 points a year ago
I always wonder what they think 'fascist' means that 'good husband, father' would negate that.
Mycatiskai 5 points a year ago
Israel breeds and trains dogs to attack and kill Palestinians. They celebrate their breeding program, so yes fascists can love dogs.

Who's is you? Has this game betrayed this country? So confused.

He wanted what was best for everyone. Except: minorities, women, poor people, the homeless...

He had children, like a lot of horrible people do.
Hitler was a father, a husband and someone who wanted the best for Germany.

"I do not support death cults" must be the epitome of clueless irony.
QuoVadisHomines 21 points a year ago
Kirk is part of an apocalyptic former death cult (cult status lost due to population size).

Why? Is there a Charlie Kirk mod where you get to press X to give him the finger while he's in the Demon Realm for his hateful spewing?
Dragonstaff 41 points a year ago
Right-wingers are mad that Bethesda posted a picture of a cat on the internet. Indian Jones pets it and says "You don't like these fascists, do you."
Hit dogs started hollerin.

Is Indian Jones the Bollywood Version that I didn't know I wanted until this moment?

The typo stays to keep the dream alive.
phx 6 points a year ago
A Bollywood-style IJ movie would actually be pretty awesome. Wouldn't be that hard to beat Crystal Skull, and Ford - though a great actor in his prime - has mostly been running on name-power these days.
Maybe they can have an Indian version where a certain political cult is trying to sacrifice people
"Well heck, the guy stayed alive an the heard was still beatin when they ripped it out in the YouTube video. Jed, you sure we got the words right?"

"No one deserved what you suffered"... well I have some good news for you, he didn't suffer a bit. He was unconscious and then dead before anyone could get to him

How dare you report on the truth. Im banning you from being a late night host.

It was a clip from the upcoming DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Indy sees a cat, and says “You don’t care much about these Fascists, do you?”
Of course insane people assumed this was about Charlie Kirk.
germanatlas 9 points a year ago
I can’t believe George Lucas and Steven Spielberg would make such an Anti-FreezePeach and Anti-Trump character /s
ICastFist 76 points a year ago
I think it's this one. As others said, the picture is Indy talking to the cat, saying "You don't care much about these Fascists, do you?" - https://www.thegamer.com/...

Still baffles me that is the same crowd that would scream "snowflakes" and do this sort of mental gymnastic LMAO

It’s a trailer with one clip of Indy saying this. Them taking offense to this says far more about them than it does about Bethesda or Indiana Jones.
QueenHawlSera 1 point 10 months ago
You know it says a lot that they just heard someone say "I don't like fascists", and immediately assumed that it was anti-Kirk sentiment.
Pika 20 points a year ago
yea but that's also PR 101, something causing bad PR? delete it. It would have been worse leaving it up as well because that shows a "we know that people can see a potential connection and we don't care and by not deleting it we agree with the connection"
Bethesda was in a Lose Lose here because regardless of their action, the crowd that was pissed about this would have been pissed, because in their eyes the connection is already solid.
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't
shani66 9 points a year ago
It's pr 101 because any advanced class would tell you to keep it up anyway. If they take it down the validate the backlash. If they keep it up they can either undermine the backlash or ride it higher if there are less nazis than there are normal people. There is also a problem with taking it down: the nazis are kinda correct that Bethesda is anti nazi, Indiana Jones and Wolfenstein? Yeah, they demonstrably have no love for their ilk and cowering away from that won't help them.
Pika 2 points a year ago
I don't agree that any advance class would contradict the beginner class. Being said, yea they could keep it up, they would be riding it right into the open flames, but they could. Them taking it down takes it off radar, the source material is no longer there, and any potential misunderstanding while will temporarily take heat for the people saying "yea see it was taken down obviously that's the meaning", but then what? there's no source material. Doubling down on your statement will create /more/ material for the targeting group, so not only is the original source available, now the double down "this is what we meant by this" will be available, which will do everything /but/ calm the flames down because those groups are definitely not going to change their mind from a corporate account saying "This is not what we mean't".
You can't win with PR like this, your best option is to not play, and in this case it's just removing the content regardless of intent.
boonhet 2 points a year ago
Once the content has been posted, you've already played. Not playing is no longer an option.
Once you remove it, you also anger the people who agreed with it, so now you've pissed off both sides.
bytesonbike 3 points a year ago
Wasn't it a Twitter post? Marketing firms do that all the time. And it's Twitter, so nothing lost.
glitchdx 33 points a year ago
Steam will flag this as a point of off topic reviews, and by default will be filtered out of affecting the review score that users see.
Personally, I like to look at these points of off topic reviews to see if a company has done some stupid shit that I want to avoid them for (like the recent fiasco with gearbox and the mandatory spyware, or everything ea has ever done ever). Every once in a while though, I get to laugh that fascists are mad.
Truscape 3 points a year ago
It's the new setting valve put in to separate reviews of different languages, there's a setting that lets you pick a primary language(s), and if you'd like on topic and those languages displayed for you, or all reviews regardless of topic.
JadenSmith 29 points a year ago
I hope those people get a ban from reviewing games or something. I know it's difficult for some people to imagine, but most of us just want to know about the damn game.
JadenSmith 10 points a year ago
Thanks I wasn't fully aware of this action, and it seems better for folks who want to game to escape. I'll be checking this setting shortly.
bytesonbike 8 points a year ago
It doesn't happen immediately but it does happen.
A few years ago, there was a wave of dumbfucks who would visit cosy games and spam "Woke" and "DEI" over and over in the forums/reviews. I don't even see it anymore.
Going to bet the edge lords got Shadow banned or something.
PotatoesFall 11 points a year ago
I hear you but I disagree, I absolutely support the right to use means like reviews to boycott companies. It's just being done for all the wrong reasons here
pineapplelover 4 points a year ago
I disagree, there have been many times in the past where review bombing a game works out for the right reasons.
If there were more right wing idiots then they might've been successful
Pika 3 points a year ago
Sadly, steam heavily disagrees with this statement. They would rather have full opinions allowed regardless, and then delist them when reported as offtopic so they still appear, but don't show in the score.
I disagree with that mentality as well, since I'm sick of seeing games have shit reviews, then look at them and its because of something that the parent company did instead of it being about the game itself.
They do the same shit with steam discussions. I heavily think they should community ban people reported for using the clown reaction award with the intent to be rude or mean to the person they are awarding it to, and the people doing blatent circlejerk/rage baiting in the communities, but until it becomes a problem that risks them getting investigated again like before, they won't.
shani66 3 points a year ago
The context surrounding a game is important, though. these are just Nazis and should have their opinion disregarded, but all of Nintendo's slop should be hated purely for the context of Nintendo being evil. any developer than stands for good things should also get a boost in positive reviews too (although that doesn't happen enough, maybe because the only ones i can think of off hand are just good regardless?).
Pika 1 point a year ago
As much as I like knowing about companies that I buy from, if I'm on a product page, looking at a product review, I'm expecting the product review, not the moral compass of the company. If I wanted to see the controversies the company is involved in, I would search the company online.
If the controversy involves the game sure, but if the only association to the game is that the publisher or dev made it, then I really don't want it in the reviews, that's not what I'm looking for.
Examples of what should be in a product review:
- Developer controversies that effect gameplay (like the Ark Survival controversy that shut down servers and failed to deliver on promises)
- Gameplay complaints/reviews
- Potential software or regional restrictions such as DRM or region locks(steam disagrees with this sadly cause they'll mark it offtopic)
- If the developer is a scam artist/illegitimate
Examples of what shouldn't be in a product review:
- Backlash from a social media posting
- Politics
- Ideologies
- Memes/Jokes (imo these are fine if its gameplay related like the skyrim arrow to the knee reviews, but usually they aren't)

Why not The Dark Ages? It’s a downgrade compared to Eternal.
