I used to work for a company that made blinds that people could order online and would then have to put up themselves and one person left a negative review because they dropped the set of blinds on their head while trying to install it.
The owner was delighted because it was such a stupid 1 star review. Anyone reading it would just laugh at the person leaving the review and wouldn't think negatively of the company.
Of course the problem is that the review influences the overall score, and people won't know why the poor review, they'll just know that the number is impacted.
Of course, that says, if that is someone's review, they can just only or make something up to have that impact.. only hope is for things to be well under the lizardman's constant.
I think steam top and tails the reviews, so if anything is way out of range it doesn't count towards the score, or at least it's impact is reduced. It not as simple as an average of the scores.
