> Amazon is doing this to prevent review bombing

I think that's the complaint.

Is review bombing somehow illegitimate? If so, what separates a "bomb" review from a legitimate review?

Bombing results in a bias but couldn't the same be said of any review system?

Even on Steam the reviews are biased to people that bought the game and are interested in the genre. It's not an objective score by the majority of people.

I now read "review bombing" as "I don't like the opinions of fans."
