This is literally false, since there are stories of publishers that refuse to pay bonuses based on Metacritic scores. Devs and publishers definitely pay attention, and review-bombed scores (whether there, on IMDB, or elsewhere) can lead potential audience to avoid titles, thus causing loss of sales.

I've never review-bombed anything myself, but when games get review-bombed I do start paying attention to why people are complaining, and often it'll lead me to decide that the flaws they're pissed about also annoy me, and thus I avoid buying the game. So in that sense, it works.

This, in addition I've never reveiw bombed a game I have not not played. I definitly left a negetive reveiw for games I played and disliked.
