Why doesn't Steam's rating system work to filter out the crap? Does this problem only exist for new games, are the ratings being gamed, or is something else going on?
It's very obvious when looking at the reviews for certain new indie games. All LLM written comments, most short, most low playtime.
Then actual customers come along and buy the game and over the next few weeks the game craters from Mostly Positive to Mostly Negative.
