The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The fact that I paid $30 for this game only for it to go free-to-play & then subsequently go offline feels like a scam.”
“This game was good. It's sad to see something that was a bit overpriced for what it was to just not be working at all...pretty much just stole our money, but whatever that's capitalism I guess”
