You're ignoring sales changes in favor of appearing to be right, and you asked for any evidence and found it yourself. In fact, you seem more concerned about being right than being correct - so I'm going to ignore you completely!
No, I'm more concerned about providing evidence so others can make their own opinion. I may absolutely be missing something, and I'm here to learn what I'm missing.
I don't accept vague statements, I accept facts. I provided the ones I found, and they seem to show that these "review bombs" are overblown and didn't significantly impact the actual sales of the games in question. In other words, they're sensationalist clickbait to sell ads on game review sites.
