Correct me if I’m wrong (I’ve never left a Steam review before), but isn’t the way Steam reviews work is that you either leave a thumbs up or a thumbs down? There doesn’t seem to be any rating scale. The “score” displayed on this page is presumably based on the ratio between positive and negative reviews, and the only thing it tells you is that about 90% of players aren’t convinced that whatever the game has to offer earnes it a recommendation, not that they all thought it deserved a 1 out of 10.
Yup. No way to give it a 5/10. With so many people (IMO rightfully) disappointed with what they turned Overwatch into, of course they won’t recommend it. Though no doubt some people now only want to pile on the negative reviews for fun.
Well it’s also easy to see this as review bombing, when infact, this is just the first time everyone is actually allowed to review the game at the source. Blizzard was just deleting bad reviews on their own platform so this is the first place the game is hosted that people are free to voice their complaints.
the people that use the steam community forums is minuscule compared to most forums. I doubt it would have had even 2% of the playerbase organized via the forums.
it’s like how when reddit users say “let’s boycott a game!” but then in total, the make up less than a % of total sales of that game

Oh it’s absolutely for fun, from people who don’t even play the game. They were planning this on the Steam forums for weeks.
