A developer says the bug in my negative review is fixed. Should I change the review before testing again?
GamingMy review says, "The door puzzle broke twice, so I couldn't finish." The developer replied yesterday that a patch fixes that exact problem and asked whether I would reconsider the recommendation.
I want the review to be fair. I don't want to claim the current version is broken if it isn't. I also haven't played the patch, and my next free evening is several days away. The developer's reply tells me what they intended to fix; it doesn't tell me what will happen on my computer.
A friend says I should remove the negative review now because it's hurting a small project. I don't know what effect my two sentences have had, and I don't want that guess to decide what I say happened.
Would you add a dated note that a fix has been announced, then retest when you can? Or leave the original review alone until there is a new result to report? I'm happy to correct it; I don't want to substitute goodwill for a test I haven't done.
