Now you guys finally understand why I've been ranting so heavily about steam since I first showed up here. I know what it's like to use that fucking platform from the dev perspective.
Valve are a business, they're all about sales in the end, the biggest piss take about all of this is you do actually have indie devs who get unfairly review bombed or their negative reviews are ancient with the customers never changing them after they fix problems. Yet these cunts can go and whine to Valve and have honest reviews taken down.
You see it with Battlebit, where you get obvious low skilled players whining about hackers because they thought they were amazing at FPS' but now they're finally having to play a game without an accessibility crutch they realise they suck and they don't like it so they leave a negative review and try to fuck the Battlebit devs over. The exploiting of the review system goes so much deeper than this.
Also, did you know? Reviewers can delete comments from the devs themselves. So even if you try to defend yourself and point out you've fixed everything, they can still leave you a negative review, delete your comment or prevent you from responding and it will affect your reputation because of some turd who wanted to start something with you over fuck all. Assuming of course people are paying attention to that review.
