They have a legal responsibility towards investors, they only moved back because refunds started happening, they didn't give a crap about the reviews, they had made their money already... Until that got taken away from them.

Kind of, but refunds only started happening because steam allowed it. And steam only allowed it because there was enough of a shitstom.

Negative reviews by themselves don't do much, you are right about that, but they do kinda show a community's mood (especially to other gamers in the community).

they had made their money already

Helldivers is a game that has a lot more monetizing potential than just the initial sales.

Negative reviews do discourage other people to buy the game. So saying they don't do much, is half wrong

And the people who were going to spend extra money aren't the ones who would have asked for a refund in the first place.

This again? They don’t have a legal responsibility, it’s just if the CEO isn’t making investors money, he could get ousted.
