Steam Reviews to get New "Funny" Rating Button.

I like to write reviews for video games in my Steam library.  My hope is that someone will read my review and it will help them make a choice about purchasing a game.  I would really love to brag that I've written a review for all 102 games in my library.  One of my completely ridiculous life goals is to write reviews for all the games in my library.  I'm not even close.  I've written five.  Yup, just five.  This is partially due to the fact that every time I write a review I end up with people downvoting my reviews.  I'm not overly sensitive, but I just don't understand why.  It's irritating when I write a decently descriptive review for a game and someone writes "has goats 11/10" and their review gets more favorable votes than my thoughtful and helpful review.  Nerdrage!

 Disliking Skyrim didn't stop him from playing 1,300 hours.


If you're like me and write a review only to have it shot down by angry Australians (I'm sorry that I feel that the humor in Borderlands:  The Pre-Sequel was Australiacentric and that I didn't get it.  I also just made up the word Australiacentric.  I have nothing against Australians.  I've never really met any, but you seem cool) you should be thrilled about this change.  Now all those people who are reading reviews sheerly for the laugh factor won't pollute the review feed with their nonsense about "you dont have to ware pants 12/10."  You can read about some Steam changes here.

Now to finish writing the other 97 reviews for the products in my library....
