To me “review bomb” implies giving a rating based on external or irrelevant factors. Giving a game a bad review because it doesn’t run correctly on your computer is perfectly valid and helpful to other users.
Star Wars Outlaws in particular received a temporary fix for crashing issues back in November. While Microsoft and Ubisoft have been working on a fix, issues with games like Assassin’s Creed Origins still remain.
If a fix exists for other games and not this one and you’ve been negatively affected, that’s a 100% acceptable reason to give a “Not Recommend” review.
Yeah, the billion dollar game developer doesn’t have the resources to test preview editions of the only PC OS their game is designed for. They’re just a small startup of ~20k employees. How are they supposed to allocated anyone to patching a game from their most popular franchise?
You’re right, it’s the consumers fault for being biased.

It is due to an external factor - Microsoft

It ran fine since 2017 and got blindsided by MS. Anyone blaming Ubisoft is biased af, or has information not included in this article.

Brb gonna test those old 1995 games and if they don’t run on Windows 11 I’ll review bomb Eidos.
The game is an eight years old single player game. I doubt they had many people working on it anymore.
They do have the resources, they also have the expectation they won’t need to waste them on dumb shit MS breaks.
Ubisoft IS the consumer of MS products. But I guess your sympathies for consumers is only skin deep.
