- logfromblammo 7y agoNot exactly worthless. I usually assume that 1 and 5 star reviews are by competitors and shills, respectively, and mainly ignore the star value anyway. I read 2-star reviews first, and look for text descriptions of identifiable strengths and weaknesses, and these must be corroborated by other substantial reviews. If anyone, with any star value, says "I wasn't shipped what was advertised/listed", I just close the Amazon tab, and look at other retailers. I don't have time for counterfeiter roulette any more.
- pizza234 7y agoThey're not (all) useless. There are a lot of Steam reviews complaining about the lack of a "neutral thumb". In this perspective, a more usable Steam system would have three evaluations, which would be a gross equivalent of 1-, 3- and 5- star Amazon ratings. I agree with the judgment, in fact, several times, positive or negative is pretty much a coin toss. In other words, at least the 3-stars rating has a use.
