Fans Positively Review Bomb Hi-Fi Rush in Wake of Xbox’s Closure of Tango Gameworks | Push Square

This reverse review bombing campaign has resulted in several thousand Positive new reviews rising to the top since the news of Bethesda's Microsoft-mandated restructure broke last week.
The closure of Tango, in particular, seems to have struck a chord within the broader gaming community, as it appears to have exposed the hypocrisy of Xbox's stated goals; the very next day, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, held a town hall in which he said: «We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards.»
Founder Shinji Mikami commented on the untimely, sad demise of the small, prestigious studio.
