My 450/472 upvotes review was removed from the Steam store page for no reason

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Samkiud/recommended/238960/

Maybe GGG got salty for something there, but I see no explanation or justification for this, whereas we see trolly, childish and useless "reviews" in the front: http://store.steampowered.com/app/238960
Removed Dickishness.

Best of luck in the future!

Front page reviews rotate you know...
Get salty over what exactly? I didnt see anything negative in your review. The only salt seems to be coming from yourself. Have you thought that it could just have happened to fall off the front page of reviews? Have you thought that it could be more to do with Steam than GGG? Have you thought about it at all, or just got salty about being unable to wave you review at people?

Indeed and would be why yours is now been replaced with someone elses... Even if its not as good as yours.

Besides wouldn't steam be the ones you need to go bitch at and not GGG? I would think Steam controls their own forums... Much like GGG controls theirs....
There is a fine line between Consideration and Hesitation.
The former is Wisdom, the latter is Fear.
From the FAQs section on Steam reviews, about 3/4 of the way down the screen:

Q. I'm a developer. Can I delete reviews of my product?
A. Not directly. If you find abusive or offensive reviews written about your product, you can flag it as spam/abuse. The review will continue to be listed on your store page, but in a collapsed form and marked as spam until a moderator can either delete the review or remove the spam flag.

Q. My game or software has changed a lot since it launched. Will reviews reflect that?
A. The reviews that are shown most prominently on your store page are selected from recently-written reviews, which should reflect the current state of your game or software.


No idea why yours can't be seen, maybe Steam doesn't factor in updates when determining how recent a review was?

Regardless, you're asking in the wrong place.
Maybe try putting in a ticket with Steam support or sending them an email?

As your first link proves, your review was not removed/deleted.

It has, however, fallen off the front page, probably due to not being very recent.

I'm not sure exactly how Steam prioritizes reviews, but even when selecting "Helpful" it still appears to be strongly favoring recent 1/1=100% reviews over older, helpful ones. With the default "helpful" filter applied, I had to scroll through over 400 reviews before I found one posted in May... and yours was posted in April. The sorting/filter algorithms are not something we have control over.

If you click the "Browse all 17k+ reviews" link at the bottom, and view the most helpful reviews of all time, then your review appears in the top 10.
