It also really helps in the opposite direction. Games that had release issues but fixed most of them have mediocre overall reviews but positive recent reviews, and I've found that's a pretty good sign that a game is worth trying. Without that separation, it would be much harder for the game to get over its rocky launch.
- nonbirithm 6y agoIf Amazon did this, then it would solve the problem of grandfathered reviews from years ago being used to promote completely different inferior products. It would have saved me hundreds of dollars worth of returns. But Amazon has no incentive to do so, because they would sell less items. Maybe with Steam the target market of gamers can direct so much more backlash towards something that doesn't work than the general audience of Amazon.
