… the ability to continually comment on other people’s Steam reviews.

I think by default the option is disabled, but it’s just excellent that it offers such a feature at all. You can’t even do this in Google Maps, Google Play, Walmart, Amazon, or Target, or almost any other platform. But on Steam, unlike GOG, Itch, or other platforms of which I know, you can have an entire conversation with the reviewer about the validity or details concerning their review, where you can flesh out, “Hey, this person actually has no idea of what they’re talking about,” or, “Hmm, this is actually a valid point that I hadn’t considered before,” and even defend the reviewer from other critics in the comments.

I still get concerned about Steam’s incredible dominion over digital games today, but it also blows my mind why other platforms don’t try to copy even just some of its elements more.

    Only haters or apologists there. It’s a nut house of extremists.

    I don’t understand why people can’t objectively complain or praise something without succumbing to “do you know how hard it is to make a game?”, or “this Dev sucks and I’m never buying another game from them”.
