The big gaming controversy of the week (so far) kicked off in a big way on Sunday when YouTuber PewDiePie dropped an ugly racial slur in an angry outburst during a PUBG livestream.

And as day follows night, that in turn has resulted in a thorough and ongoing review-bombing campaign against the game on Steam.
