Sunday, Bundly Sunday... Will you buy it?
Totem looks like it has very poor reviews. I don't know where the rating you see above is pulled from but if you look at the Steam store why are the negative reviews in English and direct Steam store purchases, whereas the positive reviews all appear to be in Russian and are key activations? Looks really fishy to me. If anything is an example of justification as to why the review system ratings default display was recently changed to the way that it is, this just might be it.

This sort of thing has probably been happening more often than most are generally aware of. That's why I don't trust the ratings that are generated by the script here that is being used to generate the charts, and instead go to the store page to check out the story myself.

You mean review boosting using Russian and a few SEA groups? Of course, the less scruples the indie publisher has, the more often. People give a lot of shit to UbiSoft, EA, Capcom (and not nearly enough to Bethesda), but the indie/shareware publishing scene has always been a lot worse, lot more people with even less morals.

I just meant any kind of review/ratings abuse in general (as there are multiple kinds) where there is a conscious effort to artificially skew the results, whether to deceive people or for other ulterior motives. Some even go in the other direction as we have heard those reports of negative review blackmail of developers by some unscrupulous 'promotional organizations'.

Those are a lot less effective, since it is more difficult to organise your mob to do something for free and with hassles (they have to buy the game, idle it, leave review, refund it, accept the trade card drop restrictions for the upcoming weeks) instead of just giving them a key and the message what to write.

I say, well others might or might not agree. At least when it comes to some cheap greenlight games. Anyway i wast just asking because i personally prefer the new system

I prefer the new ratings because to me key activations are too open to abuse. With the new system at least you know that it is based on people who spent some real money and bought it direct from the Steam store and their review is not just from a free key handout or worse, bribery (or the opposite, blackmail), so as such their review would seem to be more likely to be honest and legitimate.
I agree with you about Valve and their quality control though (or rather entire lack thereof), as well as the whole Digital Homicide mess.
