  I feel like it’s also a way to limit review bombing, like what happened for recent games regarding privacy policy changes

    Could be from stuff akin to this. This is the second bombing of Luchang, first was post-launch due to UE5 spec demands

    …were those reviews from some specific languages?

      I believe they often start in english only. This might limit the global impact for non-english speakers

        What if I actually want to see the review bombing and it’s effect before buying the product ?

        Really, the more I think about this change, the less convincing it is. It will hide review bombing of games that might have warn you of something… I think it will just muddy and make the Steam way harder to assess and use.

  It’s definitely because of that.
