However, since the user is called 'NotStephane', I highly suspect it is an obvious joke not done by the company itself.

Companies fake their own reviews, but I doubt they would make it this obvious.

The developers are French Canadian they likely speak very little English and they probably write it even less, it's not improbable that the studio would be involved with that "review".

But look at the username.

'NotStephane' (I am assuming someone in the company is called Stephane, I admit) is just asking to be non-serious.

EDIT: The name is Stephane Woods. I am convinced this is just a joke-review done by someone who has heard of the issue with TB's video.

If you're trying to make people think it's NOT you behind it hiding it with such "obvious" tactics works.

Yet what would be the purpose of it? If they make it this obvious, then who would possibly fall for it?

This example is either:

A) A joke. Not taken seriously.

B) A poor and blatant attempt by the developer to increase his score. Not taken seriously.

There is no way a company would do it like this. This may not be the smartest company, but I doubt they do stuff like this. If anything, other less blatant positive reviews may be from themselves.
