    I hope those people get a ban from reviewing games or something. I know it’s difficult for some people to imagine, but most of us just want to know about the damn game.

      They won’t get banned but Steam will likely mark this wave as “Off-topic review activity”. When this happens you can toggle visibility of these reviews.

      I reported some of those as “political argument that is unrelated to the game, developer or publisher”, I don’t think anything will happen tho

        It doesn’t happen immediately but it does happen.

        A few years ago, there was a wave of dumbfucks who would visit cosy games and spam “Woke” and “DEI” over and over in the forums/reviews. I don’t even see it anymore.

        Going to bet the edge lords got Shadow banned or something.

        Same here, I reported them all for “Political argument that is unrelated to the game, developer or publisher”

      I hear you but I disagree, I absolutely support the right to use means like reviews to boycott companies. It’s just being done for all the wrong reasons here

      Sadly, steam heavily disagrees with this statement. They would rather have full opinions allowed regardless, and then delist them when reported as offtopic so they still appear, but don’t show in the score.

      I disagree with that mentality as well, since I’m sick of seeing games have shit reviews, then look at them and its because of something that the parent company did instead of it being about the game itself.

      They do the same shit with steam discussions. I heavily think they should community ban people reported for using the clown reaction award with the intent to be rude or mean to the person they are awarding it to, and the people doing blatent circlejerk/rage baiting in the communities, but until it becomes a problem that risks them getting investigated again like before, they won’t.
