Abusive Reviews

It looks like Steam allows users to insult developers in their reviews. Reviews should stick to the contents of the game and not be personal attacks directed to a person.

changedIt looks like Steam allows users to insult developers in their reviews. Reviews should stick to the contents of the game and not be personal attacks directed to a person. It would be ideal if people who barely touched the game didn't have the arrogance to write a review, but I guess that is asking too much. There are reviews complaining there is no story. There are no cars too, and no football teams, because they are not what the game is about and there is no promise of a story anywhere in the description or presentation of the game. The game doesn't compare to Tactics Ogre? It doesn't sound fair to compare an indie game created by a single developer with a masterpiece of the genre created by a team of professionals 100 times bigger, not to mention the price tag is ten times smaller. Thanks for reading and please help by flagging reviews that cross the line between legitimate criticism and attempts to ridicule game creators and their hard work.
