    Reminds me of when someone left a leaf-blowing simulator a review “can’t sex the leaves” and it caused the dev to make a sex update to a leaf blowing simulator

    I had a dev respond to me 5+ years after a review saying they had fixed the problems I mentioned. Now I have to download the game and play it again or I have no balls. God damn devs holding us accountable.

    I always try to keep my reviews constructive for small devs. So far, they’ve always appreciated the detailed feedback. I’ve had a few where I completely changed my reviews after they fixed my complaints and let me know about the update.

    Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.

      Gta 5 doesn’t allow linux users to play online anymore. Everyone from the linux community shat on them, especially because it was one of the top played games on deck. Where are my rockstar replies?

      That would be incredibly stupid.

      1 bad review wouldn’t put me off a game I was genuinely interested in, but the dev being a total douche canoe would.

        I like to read the bad reviews. I know everyone has different tastes. A constructive bad review can sell me a game if the things that person didn’t like aren’t a deal breaker for me.
