I think by default the option is disabled, but it’s just excellent that it offers such a feature at all. You can’t even do this in Google Maps, Google Play, Walmart, Amazon, or Target, or almost any other platform. But on Steam, unlike GOG, Itch, or other platforms of which I know, you can have an entire conversation with the reviewer about the validity or details concerning their review, where you can flesh out, “Hey, this person actually has no idea of what they’re talking about,” or, “Hmm, this is actually a valid point that I hadn’t considered before,” and even defend the reviewer from other critics in the comments.
I still get concerned about Steam’s incredible dominion over digital games today, but it also blows my mind why other platforms don’t try to copy even just some of its elements more.
I review a bunch of Steam games, usually of the obscure sort. I always leave the comments on. I feel they can provide additional context that I didn’t give.
Although I must admit that I enjoy fighting with the people who call me mean names in the review comments.
I always reply “Can’t please everyone” and nothing else, and for some reason that triggers them way more 🤔 Had a guy write THREE different replies within a week to a review I left of Escape from Tarkov without me saying anything…it was so weird.
My favorite reply from one of my detractors is:
> That’s like 10yrs old
The game released in 2019, it just became 5yrs old this yr.
(Already showing how untrustworthy your opinion is)
>unplayable buggy
No reviews for DE:RQ(1) support your allegations, that it’s unplayable. not to mention it’s a game about being trapped in an unfinished, improperly debugged game.
>outburst
No?
I just highlighted that you literally spoiled the late stage game.
The Mystery is how did Shina get trapped in a Video Game?
You’re just being an 𓆩ⱥꞩꞩ𓆪 hole.
