    As a 45 year old father on steam, I welcome this change.

    This a good change. Reviews aren’t there to be funny, they are there to be informative

      One does not necessarily exclude the other 🤷‍♂️

        Well yeah. It’s ok if a review is funny. It’s not ok if the review isn’t informative.

        No, but the reviews in question do. That’s why Steam is filtering them.

      Every website has been like that for a decade or more. But they are required to tell you now.

    I just want to know who the fuck was marking all of those garbage reviews as “helpful”. Like WTF is wrong with you?

    I don’t find it funny when Steam wants to worm its way into my windows install and spontaneously change settings in the windows firewall ( yeah I use windows btw)

        To be clear, i haven’t seen it happen again in a good long while. When it was happening a lot i found a few scant references to the same phenomenon.

        But here? "Lol nub*

        Anyways, to me it’s a clear example that windows is shit. Sorry I can’t reproduce it,.
