防止赠key刷好评:Valve更改Steam评分规则[多图]
Steam的评价系统是一个玩家可以对已购买游戏进行评论和打分的系统,因为必须购买游戏后才能获得评价资格,所以Steam玩家评价对玩家的参考价值相对较高,可能会左右玩家的购买意愿。
一款游戏的用户评测会直接影响用户的购买意愿
而部分厂家发现了评分系统的漏洞,通过厂家的激活码赠予机制大量使用免费激活码为本家作品刷高分评价。此举严重影响Steam评分系统的公正程度。
Steam针对这一情况,在近日对Steam的评分机制进行了修改:用户在Steam激活一款产品(而不是直接通过Steam购买)后,虽然还能发表评论,但是对产品做出的评分将会在默认情况下不计入总体统计。
Valve对此解释说:“我们的分析表明,至少有160个产品的好评是通过官方赠送的激活码获取游戏而非购买获取的,虽然确实有些理由能解释这种情况,例如有许多Steam以外的忠诚用户或者在登陆Steam之前使用过众筹获取了大量使用激活码的用户。”

“But in many cases, the abuse is clear and obvious, such as duplicated and/or generated reviews in large batches, or reviews from accounts linked to
