   I can’t understand people who leave a negative review on a niche little indie game where they kinda liked it but want to make a bunch of snarky points about how it could have been better. You’re not Roger bloody Ebert, and this isn’t a multi million pound company asking sixty plus dollars. Give them a break and just move on, ffs. Didn’t your Mum tell you that if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all?

     @sinbad Steam's review system is definitely not helping. Thumbs up / down simply doesn't work if you have mixed feelings about the game.

     Personally I'd prefer the three options Netflix uses: Loved it 👍👍 / Kinda liked it 👍 / Not my cup of tea 👎.

     @sinbad most players have absolutely no idea how games are made and who makes them. Some of them may compare a game made with a team of two in a garage, paid in cold pizza slices to a game made by Ubisoft or whatever gigantic company you can name.

     @sinbad Their mom does not yell as loudly as the lessons in public discourse they are being taught daily by The Facebook and Twitter.
