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.

...how about 'trailer' videos that ACTUALLY show you how the video game plays, instead of showing me flying dragons shooting flames at knights in 3D, when the game is some shitty side scroll game with awful graphics, so I have to then go to YouTube to watch a real play-through.
Show me the game, not an advertisement.

They don't want you to know how bad the game actually is. They only want your money.
