It also has the benefit of allowing you to see how a game's reviews have evolved over time, which is great for games that are operating as services.” “This approach has the advantage of never preventing anyone from submitting a review, but does require slightly more effort on the part of potential purchasers. “As a potential purchaser, it's easy to spot temporary distortions in the reviews, to investigate why that distortion occurred, and decide for yourself whether it's something you care about,” Kroll wrote. Kroll suggested that providing an entire review history may better illustrate a more accurate picture of people’s opinion on the game. In the case of review bombs - an act where people upset with a developer for reasons to do either with the game or those that exist outside of the game start assigning poor review scores in droves. In a blog post on Steam’s community page, UI designer Alden Kroll wrote about the reasoning behind implementing a histogram instead of deciding to remove user scores or adding a temporary lock on user reviews for a specific game. Game pages on Steam will now be accompanied by a chart displaying a visual history of user reviews to help identify review bombing incidents, shortly after an such an attack was carried out against Campo Santo’s Firewatch.
