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

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

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.


Thank you for clarifying. My unhappy thread came to be because according to my experience with the review system on Steam, they remove from the store page reviews if the publishers finds a flag in case of violating one of their guidelines, after they report it to the Steam moderators, they proceed to remove it to avoid misleading and false information for the potential buyer of the game.

I'm glad to see this is not the case.

And yeah, I'm surprised to see that this forum has not changed when it comes to moderation and the amount of provocative posts people still posting. I had months without coming here. What a welcome.

Your first post in months is one that calls GGGs ethics and honesty into question without evidence or investigation, what the fuck did you think the reaction would be?

Are you talking to me? Did you see the leap time between posts? What reaction are you talking about? Are they even reacting to something? A reaction to the positive the review? Did you read it? If not, what does that has anything with the review and why to bring to the table something is not regarding what is being discussed in this thread? Inflammatory much?

It's not your review. It's your OP. You accused GGG of hiding your *awesome* review when it was clearly the case that you didnt understand how steam reviews work.

Inflammatory? Your OP implies that GGG purposefully had your review removed from Steam. Fucking inflammatory much?

Anyways, it has been fun chatting with you. Hopefully see you another few months.


Hopefully I won't see you again, troll poster.

And that was already clarified. Thank you, *obnoxious* poster :)
