Salz? You mean Germany or a person?

....and what more sickens me that one of the biggest places for both asset flippers and bot farmers is Russia. They already have very cheap game prices (apperantly to fight piracy) and thats exactly also a reason why they so easy bot farming games there. If not for those prices, farmers and asset flips wasnt such a big deal.

In short: in my opinion Russia deserve those low video game prices. They should pay as much as any other country.

How the heck there is "negative 1" threads on forums of this game?

Hmmm, if I could I would make postive review, send image to him, then get a reward. After that change review into negative and send another image of it just to check if he would remove it from my account :D

Ofc I would document everything, including email with game key (if I would got something like that) and report everything to Valve.

Paid reviews are usual practice among russian developers.
Different accounts, different people (reviewers are really different people) = no evidences.

Thats why I wish that % that is shown on top of the page was based around reviews in your selected language (like english+polish for example). If there would be not enought reviews to make %, it would be based around all reviews.

At least thanks to some kind of system similiar to this, majority of people not gonna see vote manipulation on % by russians (which , lets face it are majority of asset flippers and scammers just like majority of people judge games by % on top screen of the store page, at least enough to say "the game is crap" or "maybe its not crap")

You know one thing that I have to wonder about is that each game is $100 to submit. You get it back if you make $1000 in sales (I think that's the number). So either some rich wank is funding these things (maybe through money they make from the whole trading card farming that's probably going on with these crap titles) or they're making enough sales to get the reimbursement from Steam.

You don't have to wait for $1000 in sales, or whatever the actual number is, before gaining money.

Once you manage to get $130 in sales (since Valve gets 30%) you're back to where you started.
Everything else is net gain.

Well, there's still taxes but you get the idea.

Thats why I wish there was bothh fee for each game AND the thing that you pay like 30$ every month for each game you have on Steam. Thanks to that majority of cheap asset flips and games that are trying to exist out of sellign trading cards for 1 $ won't survive and will give those scammers negative profit. It would force them to remove their "unprofitable" games from Steam.

FIDGET SPINNER IN SPACE

Just notice that all those "games" are just crap memes for cheap price (probably for bot farming).
I wish Steam disallow games with such low price tag.... or at least remove option to have any trading cards if the game cost less than 5$. That would fix many problems with STeam that bot farmers are abusing so much lately.
