Off-topic review bombs are something I've really noticed taking place on Steam over the last year. Steam is working on ways to counteract the off-topic reviews, while also trying to let people's opinions be heard. It seems to be working somewhat, but it's far from perfect. Off-topic review bombing isn't helpful in the slightest, when trying to decide whether the current product is any good. Yet, how else should a consumer let others know that a company is going off the rails?
Personally, I would love an option to also rate the developers/corporations behind games as well. Perhaps a second rating for a game is needed? One rating for the game, and one rating for the publisher.

I wish.* That guy must be HUUUGE! Talk about meta, that account is mega-meta. But my feet are always too warm for socks, and I'm already dissociative enough in just being me and posting under one handle. Paraphrasing Diane Duane, I do have a semi-firm belief in leave 'em laughing or leave 'em wondering what the hell I meant.
*No, actually I wish I were RdT so that I could stop it.
