Comment on Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language

  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.

    Steam already marked review bombing as off-topic before, which don’t factor into the score by default, and you have to specifically select to see them.

    Now you get more options and can even go back to the old system permanently, if you don’t like it.

      It's worth adding that you can disable this filter permanently. It's not a thing you temporarily disable while you're on a specific game's store page; if you disable it, it disables it for every game until you turn it back on. So that's nice.

    I personally like seeing review bombing as well, it was always relevant to me, despite what Steam says
