Epic Store Protest At Metro: Exodus – Players Bombard The Game With Positive Ratings
The slightly different kind of Review bombing: Because the players of Metro: Exodus are against the Epic Store, they flood the title with positive reviews.
fell victim to ReviewBombing after Epic Store exclusivity was announced. After the release, the fans continue to protest. Now they express their frustration with the Epic exclusivity with positive reviews.
With simple statements that want the Epic Store an early demise, and sometimes even complex ASCII images of two outstretched middle fingers and the text “Epic Store,” some players are currently posting their criticism of Epic’s store as a Steam review of Metro: Exodus. They like the game itself, but they, like so many others, are seriously disappointed that the title is now available only from Epic.
To be able to submit reviews to a game on Steam, you have to own this. The fans, the Metro: Rate now on Valve’s online platform Exodus are those who pre-ordered it before the transition to the Epic Store and thus belong to the few who actually have it on Steam.
That’s why players reject Epic’s store
The new distribution platform from Epic Games is a big topic among gamers. This is mainly due to the exclusive contracts that Epic enters into with other developers. In order to sell their game exclusively in the new online store for a whole year, Epic pays them money.
I wanted to buy Metro Exodus on steam, which it was advertised to be released on. However someone didn't want me to, which must mean it was the developer, who got paid by you to do it. Which must mean you didn't want me to buy it where I wanted to. Which means you are a liar.

According to him, Steam Metro lost: Exodus because they offered the developer a worse deal. Customers see the hypocrisy in their approach, as Sweeney expressed negative about Windows in the past. He criticized that Microsoft could impose its position as a middleman to the customer and from now on can only buy from Microsoft.
