It looks like what you did here is to copy and paste a large amount of text from various press releases, websites about the game, etc into the article. You can't do this - the text is copyrighted and copying and pasting it here is a copyright violation. You wrote that this is in the public domain, has been distributed widely without copyright notice via press releases, reproduced widely in publications online already, and is on the public web pages of numerous entities including Microsoft, Sony and Valve. This isn't correct. Copyright exists automatically when a work it created, you don't have to add a notice for something to be copyrighted. The fact something is widely available or has been widely copied or reposed does not make it free of copyright. For all we know Microsoft, Sony etc have permission to use the text. Public domain has a specific legal meaning in the context of copyright, namely that some work is not subject to copyright. It doesn't just mean that something is generally available. The vast majority of material on the internet is copyrighted and cannot be copied into Wikipedia.

You did add some quotations from reviews of the game, yes. I still don't think these were appropriate things to add, because they were (to quote the editor who reverted them) "promotional spam". The Reception section you added consisted of a long sequence of contextless quotes about how fantastic the game was. Wikipedia is supposed to be a neutral encyclopedia, and this was the kind of thing I would expect to find on a press release for the game.

I'm not prepared to undelete these edits as they contain copyright violations. However if you want the collection of links which you added they were:. Again I advise against including these as a sequence of promotional quotes in the article. Have a look at some of these if you want to see how high quality game articles handle discussion of the game's reception.  Hut 8.5  17:57, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
