Digger Online

Digger Online (Russian: Копатель Онлайн, read: Kopatel Online) is a 2015 MMO game developed and published by Digger World on June 2, 2015.

Background
Originally, the game was released as a F2P browser game on Russian website Vkontakte somewhere in 2011. It became notorious in the Russian gaming community due to it being a really poor Minecraft rip-off with a toxic community full of little kids, abusive admins, hackers, enormous amount of bugs, careless developers and a really heavy focus on microtransactions, which makes it one of the most P2W games (especially when it comes to certain modes).

At a certain point, it was uploaded on Steam Greenlight and got approved, most likely with the help of bots and considering how negative people (mostly consisting of Russian people familiar with the game) were about it getting onto Steam. For a long time, it went silent until it got uploaded on Steam on June 2, 2015. The game got quickly bombarded with negative reviews, which makes you question why the developers even pushed it on Steam.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) You need to install a Russian browser called Amigo to play the game online. It also should be noted that Amigo is considered to be one of the worst Chromium-based browsers, due to various problems to the point that many even consider it to be a malware.
 * 2) For the most part, the gameplay is basically a poor Minecraft rip-off. 'There are some other modes besides typical sandbox, but they are also boring to play in and they are pretty generic.
 * 3) You need to pay to create and upgrade your own server. Even adding a time cycle to your server will cost you money.
 * 4) If you didn't create your own server, you can join other server made by another user, but it is problematic due to its really awful community, which is much worse than Minecraft and CoD fandoms. Admin(s) of the server will troll you and kick or ban you without reasons (some can demand you to give them an item), servers are full of noobs and really salty kids and attacks by cheaters and griefers are not uncommon.
 * 5) As mentioned above, the game relies heavily on microtransactions. If you create your own server, only two starter blocks are available. You have to pay for the other blocks and things (the payable Steam version gives you more blocks, because technically you're paying for them when buying the game). You have no ores and no crafting. And since the game is P2W, some modes have really unbalanced gameplay (most notably War and Zombie Virus modes).
 * 6) Small world size, due to the lack of Minecraft's random world generating system.
 * 7) Graphics and models are ugly. Not to mention that the playable characters look like they were stolen and edited from Steve, an unused Minecraft mob, not to be confused with the well-known main protagonist.
 * 8) No NPCs, except for the few animals, some of which can be tamed.
 * 9) No music and few sounds that were of really bad quality.
 * 10) Only one biome is included, no villages, mines, weather, etc.
 * 11) Crappy physics.
 * 12) False advertising: The game advertises itself as really fun with a lot of content and things to do, which makes it look and sound like it can compete with Minecraft. It is obviously shameless lies.
 * 13) As obvious from the other points, the developers are extremely greedy. The Steam version used to be free, but then developers slammed a $10 price-tag on it (most likely to avoid people downloading the game just to give it negative reviews).
 * 14) As a follow up to WIS#13, While the game's page on Steam used to have mostly negative reviews, but it was then changed to mixed reviews with almost having positive reviews due to the fact that they try to avoid being review bombed, which shows (sometimes theorized) that the developers can't take criticisms because they uses fake user reviews just to have a better reviews from this game.

Reception
The game received mostly mixed to negative reviews from gamers and fans of Minecraft, for its graphics, physics, gameplay and being a rip off to Minecraft. On Steam it used to have mostly negative reviews but it was changed to mixed reviews due to being avoid to got review bombed.
