I may not know art but I know what is weird

Today, Steam launched a histogram feature which allows users to see the timeline of positive and negative reviews, which in turn, pinpoints review bombing.
Sounds like a good idea. I can't believe review bombing is a thing tbh. Don't people have better things to do with their lives?

"It might be that they’re unhappy with something the developer has said online... or simply that they don’t like the developer’s political convictions. Many of these out-of-game issues aren’t very relevant when it comes to the value of the game itself, but some of them are real reasons why a player may be unhappy with their purchase."
I love the irony here.
User reviews are just bad and regular people aren't trustworthy. I bought a lot of games that I felt were disappoiting like Uncharted 3, Braid and Far Cry 3 based on user reviews and skipped games like Mass Effect 3 and Resistance 2. I was pretty naive for trusting others and not watching gameplay footage...
