REVIEWS: Add method to FILTER reviews per Steam Account AGE.

This is much needed, with many accounts aging past 20 years old and plenty of new accounts with only a couple years under their belts. What a 15-20+ year veteran gamer feels is Overwhelmingly Positive does not often line up with what a 0-3 year gamer feels about the same product. I come from the era of old school gaming, and we need to be able to filter OUT the opinions of newer gamers that don't have the same perspective as us.

I'm disagree with the ratings of too many games lately, games that are OK at best, but are marked as Overwhelmingly Positive due to the ratings the game gets from GenZ. Pixels, remasters from 1995, and ADHD gameloops are not great games.

Please add the filtering of reviews based on account age, thanks!

Account age means nothing.

There are many older accounts that have been sold.

:nkCool:

account age means everything, the percentage of accounts that are sold are less than 1%

I created a similar suggestion; these forums are crowded with devs.

It's very unlikely your suggestion will be implemented because Valve isn't financially motivated to allow you to dig deeply into reviews.

What an incredible way to discredit a very easy feature to implement with a 1% issue case. Brilliant.

The culture in the forums to just come up with the lamest and least relevant way to tell someone their idea sucks is very weird.

I can see the use case of this, options are welcome.

The review system is one of the biggest attractions and biggest value to their customer(gamers). It’s is very much in their financial interest to make their user review system work optimally. The review system has been championed as one of highest contributor to the claim “power to the players” that drives the company, second to maybe the workshop and maybe 3rd with the best refund policy that a platform has ever provided.

Steam doesn’t make money if you are buying a game you don’t like and it gets refunded. They make money when you enjoy the game you bought and keep it. I don’t see how this would conflict with their profits at all, a filter isn’t going to radically change anything to the business it’s just additional options to make their user reviews more relevant to the user trying to find out if this game is for them. You’re thinking way to hard about it.

An older account (20+ years) has no more validity than a newer account that has written a review as it is a personal opinion from the account holder.

Do you have data to backup that claim?

Why dig deeper into reviews when you can merely claim Grounded 2 is review boosted and state it as a fact with zero proof provided but also any review which recommends a game are deemed fake.

It makes as much sense as to filter reviews by account Steam level... But whatever floats their boat. Let people see the reviews through whatever lens they want to.

My account is older than yours, and this reads like nonsense to me. Especially the bit whining about younger gamers. It's how you can tell you're old and determined to be a curmudgeon by falling into the patterns olds have engaged in for thousands of years: crying about how awful young people are for not being born old.

And you're free to do it. But it's just sad and hilarious. Good luck on your mission to segregate yourself from people different than you. I hope you get exactly what you ask for, and I wish I could see it in real time when you realize that not much has changed and your assumptions were all wrong. So I wonder how the goalpost gets moved. Maybe you'll want to filter reviews by library composition next.

no

More options to filter reviews, enables customers to make the best decision possible for a purchase... that's a good thing. Refunding games is frustrating for all parties involved, it's a big waste of time and more tools to avoid that process should be promoted and installed.
