It feels like it’s really getting out of hand and the language of the negative reviews seems really fake too. I just bought a game that got review bombed and it was fine. From the reviews it sounded like it was going to destroy my graphics card, corrupt my hard drive and be full of bugs. Luckily I watched some gameplay vids and it turned out none of those things were true.
It’s not just you. Customer curated content in general on steam has gone drastically downhill over the last year or two.
Like review bomb mitigation can only go so far when the company refuses to block people from writing reviews that write enough off topic reviews.
The discussion forums are the same way, its all award farming ever since they released the ability to give steam points to people.
