There’s something fishy about the “Very Positive” reviews of this Steam game

The illustration of the article entitled

Picture: Valve / Kotaku

Emoji Evolution is a simple-looking puzzle game in which you “combine different elements to find a new one” to – and wow, this really escalates – “solve humanity’s main dilemma.” Looks like Steam users like it pretty much …or they do?

Take another look at that image on its Steam page and you’ll notice that while recent reviews are “mixed”, the game developer reproduced the look of a game with “very positive” recent and general reviews, renaming developer / publisher “very positive”. positive ”. Thanks to Valve’s font and color options, the effect is that it looks just like the summary section of a Steam page review. As Vice reporter (and Kotakufrom another life) Patrick Klepek put it on Twitter: “Well, this is a way to fool people into thinking that your game has positive reviews on Steam!”

Uh, Valve? Hey, Valve ??? You may want to … don’t let developers do this.
