That is a good point, and i probably should have mentioned users being able to amend their own reviews
I was though thinking of the people that leave a review and donāt continue to play (or forget to update) and what line should be drawn on reviews that are from slightly to materially inaccurate.
Well⦠Because of the ā ā ā ā first campaign I left a one star review in the Windows Store. I wonāt change it until the TC remove that ā ā ā ā first campaign.
I think MikelTheLastOne nails it. When they become too old, perhaps theyāre purged. Or, a warning on the review page stating āsome reviews may no longer be accurate or outdatedā or something like that. I donāt think thereās a definitive answer. I do believe there should be a minimum character review though.
It wonāt solve it, but things like good game, must buy, avoid, , , garbage, awesome, pish etc etc would be less common. I think players with nothing constructive to say, would be discouraged if they had to think about composing a, letās say a minimum of 50 to 150 character review.
I noticed that only 3/185 were under 4 stars (out of 5 max) and was curious as to the reasons given by the few people who gave it a mediocre to poor review
The 3 star only mentions that it isnāt a completely different type of product - In my view this is a rubbish review and should be purged
The 2 star review praises the product, recommends it and makes no bad points, and ranked it 5/5 for quality and value. -In my view this is utter nonsense, it is almost as if the reviewer hit the wrong amount of stars. In this case, should the review be deleted or amended?
The 1 Star review complained that the product was DOA, and fair enough in my view.
I agree. But I cannot support or denounce the reviews as I donāt know the product. However, there is the option where you can say whether you found the review helpful, yes or no.
Xbox do the same thing, and you can report them, but the report option is limited to offensive and two other options on Xbox. Perhaps an option to expand on why you found it helpful or not.
Either way, the frier reviews are reviews imo. Not just, buy, avoid, dung, donāt buy etc. I think the review process can always be improved, I just wonder if Microsoft think itās worth investing more in.
