Review bombing is an intentional attack (e.g. someone posts a story about a shitty restaurant owner and everyone on the internet starts leaving negative reviews for that restaurant even though they’ve never been there). Just getting negative reviews organically for being bad is not review bombing.
there’s probably no official definition, but you could argue it is supposed to refer to negative reviews that have nothing to do with the product. Like when a bunch of idiots gave Captain Marvel 1 star reviews because they hate Brie Larson.
Not going to lie, needing a PlayStation account feels pretty unrelated to the actual game to me. Akin to complaining about how something shipped on Amazon instead of, you know the actual product.
Your difficulties with needing a PlayStation account, like shipping, is going to wildly vary depending on location.
Is it not? What is “review bombing”? I thought it was just when a bunch of negative reviews were submitted in a short period of time.

If a bunch of people are intentionally buying the game, reviewing and refunding without playing it, isn’t that the same?
If they’re reviewing it negatively and then enjoying the game without refunding, I’ve gotta laugh.

This is how I assume it would be used, but some people use it to mean “this got a lot of negative reviews right away”

It is a hard requirement and thus part of the experience.
