Amazon's MMO, New World, has seen its aggregate user reviews on Steam fall from "mostly positive" to "mixed" in the last 30 days.

"It saddens me to have to write a negative review," wrote one player.

The unhappy player have over 200 hours recorded in-game.

Played it and enjoyed it from launch until the first update in late November," explained one player who'd played from launch.

The drop in ratings is further compounded by recent news that despite hitting an impressive all-time concurrent peak of just shy of a million players on 3rd October, New World seemingly lost more than half its player base just a month after its launch on PC.

ICYMI, a couple of weeks back, Amazon said it would take "remediation steps" against New World players who "egregiously exploited" the recent coin duplication bug.

Players of the MMO found a coin/item dupe bug when player trading and, as you'd expect, exploited it.

"We have permanently banned players who exploited the coin/item dupe issue.".
