So they are hiring people to trash indie games in general and, because of its success, Valheim in particular.

A touch of cynic realism is not always a bad thing, but I'd like to draw the line between it and foil-hat conspiracy theories... even if it does sound like what megacorps would like to do, if they just got away with it. For now, it probably looks better on them if they just continue rigging the system that already favors them by means of manipulating review aggregate scores, media coverage and things like that. Actively pushing others down on grass-roots level would be much nastier.

I don't really see what this has to do with biomes and development of Valheim though. Even if Coffee Stain's parent company (you didn't forget Valheim is not an indie game, did you?) holds the likes of what used to be THQ Nordic, Deep Silver, Gearbox and others, I'd like to think Valheim being successful enough on its own feet to not have its development influenced by outside factors.
