Essentialy you astroturf an opinion that is not backed up by the actual numbers.
To give an example in the BG3 sphere: the TB vs RTWP discussion always is dominated by people arguing n favor of RTWP, meanwhile even on 4chans /v/, a forum known for its contrarianism and its idolization of old video games and extreme intolerance of anyhting new, Turn Based wins the polls by a large margin.

The idea here is to give the impression of a majority opinion that doenst exist.
The goal is to change the developers course by implying that they alienate their fanbase.

This has been done quite ofthen. Another tactic is to write letters to sponsors or publishers.



so no, this isnt an effort to "troll" anyone.
its an effort to interfere with the development of a video game.

Wow that sad that people are doing that there would be better off just moving onto something there like instead of trying to change it I mean if I wanted the old style of BG I would just make my own DND video game problem solved
