I do not write reviews for updoots, I write them to annoy the devs.

Ill never forget his broken Engrish too. Dude was struggling but he made it.
There are too many games out on the market that never find their target audience languishing with under 100 reviews. There's always a chance to find a gem that simply didnt have a marketing budget.
A good game cant sell itself, it needs traction from being a brand, notable developer, or getting attention from someone who can signal boost it further.

who gives a shit?

Why waste time posting on 4chan if you care so much about updoots?

>write a negative review with low hours

>write a negative review with high hours
>”why did you play it so much if you didn’t like it?”

If you need to read a review to know if you want a game then you lack the proper critical thinking and self governance needed to survive in this world.

I released a gayme on steam and almost all of my reviews are weird bot / AI slop? Seems split between positive and negative but it's clearly just like they have fed the description to an AI and said "write a positive/negative review on this". When I check their profile they tend to have thousands of these reviews.
Why do they do this? Do they somehow make money from it? I noticed a lot of the time they end with something like "if this helped you, make sure to give it a star/award"

>>736616780
Nice sheep. Where do I go to updoot it?

third worlders who make money by writing reviews / reposting art for steam points, using those steam points for items / games, then selling those accounts. it's a sad life
>>
>>736618616
that can't be profitable
>>
>>736618616
What is the exchange rate?
1 cent per hundred reviews or something? lol
>>
>>736616780
Who the fuck cares, award farming is completely pointless now and thank god for that.
>>736618616
Not a thing anymore.

>low effort
Let's see you recreate that picture without using any tools and we'll see how low effort it is.
>>
>>736616780
because they reward retards instead of discouraging them. It's not hard to understand

I know it's an incredibly low chance but the thought that some third worlder out there might have lost his livelihood because of this is kinda funny

Heh

Critical thinking requires information to think on.
You can't deduce anything from pure logic without opening your eyes to the world. Rationalism lost. Cope and seethe.
