While I have ZERO interest in this type of game I have to wonder how many (if any?) of the 'review bombs' were an effort funded by other stake holders in the genre?

There are many "botfarms" out there and many of them are rentable.

Pretty much 100% bots. No one can give an extensive negative review about the game with "0.1 hours played" as it happened with that game (and many others actually).

There were also major technical hiccups for the first day(s) so many reviews were negative because a lot of players couldn't get past the start screen.
