Valve announce language-specific user review scores for Steam games

Nice, now we can see which cultures are review bombing and make sure we only take reviews from our own cultures.

The apple AppStore does something like this, and I hate it. Everything’s full of one star reviews that just say ‘It’s not in Spanish!’, and it feels like a vegan leaving a review on a restaurant saying ‘the steak is meat! Not vegan!’.

Steam doesn’t advertise games that aren’t translated to those speakers. If the store page is translated but not the game, the page gets a warning saying that the game isn’t translated.

So if it wasn’t already happening, it won’t be a problem.
