That is pretty silly.
I can understand preventing review bombing by only allowing people who have actually played the game to review it, but that doesn’t apply here.
I don’t know, I guess it makes sense. Steam accounts are free, so maybe they don’t want opportunists to be able to review games multiple times through Family sharing
Devs/Publishers set who gets to review. Steam gives them the option.
I reviewed plenty family shared games, when they allowed it.
Edit: I just noticed you didn’t mention who. Your comment can refer to the publishers as well. My addendum was unnecessary.
I was referring to Valve, actually. I didn’t know they let developers and publishers decide, so that’s interesting. I wonder if there’s any real difference in allowing family reviews versus not.
Well, I can’t say for sure if they are counted for the score. They might be good for visibility, pad the numbers, but it can also backfire if they end up being negative. It likely helps the little guys, but does little for Sony types.
If you’d be interested, maybe also post to NeoDB, a fediverse reviewing platform? Looking at the instance I use, there’s an entry for the game already, so no need importing it.
Huh. Never considered that as an application of the Fediverse. Neat.
I know that’s beside the point but I don’t agree with some of your points.
I thought the astetic of the characters was incredible. I’ve didn’t think of it as characters living in an apocalypse, rather then being the survivors of said event. The sudden change of the worlds has passed and they managed to find a way of living on this new world.
