This has been my experience as well. They were extremely unethical to release the game in this state. The only good news is that the steam reviews keep dropping
Do you have a source on that? My recollection is that every time I've checked (including just now) its around 80% positive.
If you click through to the graph it shows the raw numbers of positive vs negative each day, and the magnitude does drop, but that's going to be true for every game... as the buzz dies fewer people review (its true for BG3 for instance).
