More and more indie developers are getting fed up with the way they are treated by valve. This should be a wake up call to valve and steam. Workers are done with losing 30% of their pay to a middleman that doesn’t give a shit about them.

Shouldn't the ire be for the retarded gamers and how they ruin the credibility and usability of every single review or ratings system?
>>
Then they can simply sell on one of the many other platforms. No one will be buying on those, but they can sell there as much as they want

I think that's a pretty helpful review. He says why he doesn't like it, and that lets you inform your own opinion on whether or not you'll like it. It's about the best that could ever be expected from a review system.

This dev sounds like a fag, but steam reviews are pretty garbage. All the top reviews are some retard zoomer meme quip, and you have to filter by negative to try and find something useful. Though this is less of a problem with very niche indie games where people do give real reviews
>>
Why is x allowing complete nonsense like that post?
>>
OK, where you going instead then?
Don't say WE'RE DONE WITH STEAM and then just keep using
>>
>>747551047
no, they willingly pay the 30% to get the exposure just because steam has so many users. they'd make pennies on other shops compared to steam
>>
>>747551047
>complete nonsense
If that is the game that the player realize he doesn't RPG or D&D, it sure says a lot about the game. Maybe he never got to play a good RPG or D&D game and now he never will, good job.
>>
>>747551734
>Porn and AI slop have no place on Steam
Yes they have. Cry about it. faggot
>>
>>747551734
Greenlight had already been completely metagamed+solved. The shovelware devs were using thousands of sockpuppet Steam accounts OR offering an outright bribe (free game key) in exchange for giving them a comment+bump their game through the Greenlight process.

Complaining about someone who's wasting money renting your game is crazy. On PC it's best to just pirate games because rentals are worthless
>>
>>747551047
Customers are entitled to be retards and have retarded opinions. That's not abuse of the system it's just retards being retards. I've seen people post weird conspiracy theories about developers though and that is something that Valve should put their foot down on.

It's called review bombing. Negative reviews are not ok

Go to EGS, there are no reviews there, and no one will find out that your game is shit.

The user is retarded for that kind of review.
But the developer is even more of a retard for caring and even replying.
Literal child behaviour.

>>
>>747566917
valid reaction for a small indie dev. Big titles with loads of review will eventually drown out the trolls, but if it's a small game a single bad review can undeservingly skew the score.
>>
>>747551047
You don't have to justify a thumbs down review, you can roll your face on the keyboard if you want. He didn't like the game.

Angrily replying and making a seething tweet out of it makes you look like a retard baby

Engaging in fraud, like selling a porn game that turns out to be a D&D-themed RPG ?

In the US voicing a negative opinion on someone or something does not count as defamation. If the reviewer said something that was objectively false, like "this game has a virus and made my computer mine bitcoin" then there's a possible argument for legal action. Simply saying "I don't like it" is a subjective opinion.

Browns really defends genuine retards just so they can keep gargling Gabens cum.

It's really not hard to filter valid reviews, and even then, one can usually spot a shit game from a mile away

He probably thought it wasnt ome of those games because its advertised like shit.

>>747551047
nothing they said is wrong, what you can't play games genres you don't like and hope it might be good? Why should that be illegal??? they said they don't like this genre and confirmed they didn't like the game. what does this tell you??? this game was revolutionary to change this person feel.

Blaming bad actors would detract from their real goal, which is the abolition of user reviews

>Disrupt, damage or manipulate Steam
The review was done maliciously to sink the game's rating (some retard bought something he didn't like just to leave a dislike)

Review bombing is a kike term they use to call "reviews I don't like"
If you fuck up your game (censorship, removing content, ruining the balance, injecting propaganda, etc.), you deserve to be called out
