Megabyte: You know you MIGHT have a point here, but for this.. this line right here. The number of reviews dont matter so much if the collective community has spoken by promoting them like that. Just saying.
"The community" consists of people going to the store page with the sole intention of review bombing and marking review bomb reviews as "helpful". How many people to you think actively goes to random store pages and looks through a bunch of reviews, reads through them all and marks them as helpful (because why would a bunch of people just head onto a store page and mark a bunch of reviews as helpful without reading them?). These people are united by their review bomb crusade. It's not a natural process at all. This is why I think that review bomb reviews should be flagged as being automatically unhelpful. MAYBE allow one for visibility. MAYBE. But it'd be much better to have an actual review that mentions it as well and not just some shitpost "review" with a 1/5 score.
You're not helping your fellow gog users by review bombing.
