I suspect all online review systems are fundamentally broken. PL has about 500 reviews. Given I get 70% of the cash anyway, if I bought 500 copies (illegally) through shills and left positive reviews it would cost me $3,000 to massively swing the review score higher... 1/2

2/2 Thats a very good use of $3,000 compared top equiv ad spend. I would never do this, but I'm not sure everyone is as honest. In all products/stores (not just steam), review scores cannot be taken seriously without some heavy duty verification they are not shills.

Replying to @cliffski
of course Cliffski isn't really going to do this, but: >We ban games and partners all the time for this. >It's really easy for us to see it when you do, even if you do it slowly >User reviews don't broadly correlate to sales or visibility the way developers assume they do

what if someone does the opposite, pay people to write bad reviews of competitor games? that would be impossible to be caught I suppose?
