This is why I've stopped reading comments on my Android games in the Marketplace every day.
The negative emotional toll from reading those data points is far too discouraging.
My "positive" data points are seeing how many downloads I'm getting every day. How many active installs I have, and I love loading up my "Orders" page to see that number grow.
BUT!! Every time I load up the comments in the Marketplace my stomach turns. I have buyers who LOVE my games, but for some reason the users of the free version shit all over it. It's hard to keep working on the next game when you read that slop.
So, I agree, we don't need to know EVERYTHING about our businesses, because the important stuff will bubble to the top, the rest can sink.
I know what you are going to say - I don't listen to my users, but please, tell me, how does reading a comment like "This game can eat my balls" help me in any way?
HOWEVER, comments like, "the game is off-screen on my N1" IS helpful, and it's reasons like this that I HAVE to read the comments every now and then. But it's rough.
