I personally don’t look forward to this new feature. I dont want my local language to be used. And that will be one more program that will constantly nag me about if I want to translate some review or only shows the one in my language by default.
I just want to use my currency and being able to just speak English.
I dont want steam to become like Firefox and decide for you that you do need some translations for stuff…
Since I dont think the language you speak should have any relevancy to the quality of the game I have no interest for reviews that are not in English.
So I just hope this “let’s localize for you everything” trend will stop.
I dont want french reviews of French games made in france. I just want English reviews of games and the score for all reviews.
Currently the localization of the reviews is the thing that I dislike the most with steam which goes to show how good I think the product is.
What if I actually want to see the review bombing and it’s effect before buying the product ?
Really, the more I think about this change, the less convincing it is. It will hide review bombing of games that might have warn you of something… I think it will just muddy and make the Steam score way harder to assess and use.
