Helldivers 2, in the running for the most review-bombed game in history, got another Steam beating a few weeks back when Arrowhead announced a change in anti-cheat services that would break or disallow existing mods.
The goal with the switch from GameGuard to Easy Anti-Cheat, as the studio explained at the time, was to combat mods that "create unfair advantages or negatively impact others," but it also acknowledged that mods it has no problems with, like cosmetic add-ons, would also be affected. The news went over like a lead balloon, prompting over 10,000 fresh negative Steam reviews and a "mostly negative" recent rating.
