To post meme reviews and get epic dank upvotes so you feel good about yourself cuz u popular on steam social media and shit!.
Honestly though, are you a fucking retard or something OP?
yes i am, i don't get it
This, also you can hire dank memers to write funnay reviews, and because people are too retarded to click "funny" instead of "helpful", you'll get positive reviews from it.
So people can see that EA is a scam.
Yeah, it's because a lot of games nowadays change well after their release. They can get better or worse through updates/DLC and such
I allows people to make more informed choices so it is a good change.
A game might be changed for the worse or the better, and that will be reflected by this system.
A graph showing the reception in function of time would be even better.
1) Game releases in a broken state
2) Developer releases patch(s) that fixes the game
3) The old rating no longer reflects the current state of the game
Or alternatively
1) Game comes out, it's great
2) Developers break it with a faulty patch, or add awful new features, or it's a multiplayer game that gets infested with hacking
3) Game is no longer great and doesn't reflect it's old score
most likely to prevent bait and switch me thinks.
My question is though, whats to stop people just deleting and re-adding reviews to pad recent votes for a surge in profits. I still think these review standards are shit tbh. They're about as useless as Metacritic scores.
The same reason reviewers are paid to shill out 10/10 ratings for AAA games. To make it seem as though it's more popular then it is, that the backlash is only recent and that it was always a popular title that people like They can also change it to be something else instead of the truth, to fool people who only skim through the game page quickly by removing the reviews or nullifying them while leaving the recent reviews alone.
Don't listen to these faggots
It seems logical but they changed it after the old system didn't get protect them from the blowback of their shitty choices.
