Yeah if things are fine and I bought the game I don’t leave a review. Only if it’s exceptionally good, or I feel I need to warn others do I take the time to review.
Basically if I bought a game and put more then 5 hours into it and didn’t have anything to say, that is my positive appreciation signal
I’ve got 2000 hours in Factorio and haven’t left a review on steam…
I’m not a real gamer, just an adult with disposable income and thousands of hours playing games, at least as far as steam tells me… so maybe I’m a problem gamer?
I have no idea about the whole steam point system, i totally ignore it… i just buy games on deep discounts… so while I have 6000 hours of play time, I have a backlog of games with 20,000 hours of possible play time, and I will die with steam games I’ve paid real actual money for that I have never, ever, ever played.

Not saying anything is not a signal for anything. For indie games, I tend to leave at least a positive one-liner (unless it’s trash, of course, then it might be a negative one-liner).
Honestly I’m not really a fan of how steam does it’s reviews with the requirement of text.
If it would just let me give a blank thumbs up that doesn’t show up, I’d be more willing to leave a thumbs up. Just that little bit of resistance after a day’s worth of work is enough to discourage me to do anything unless it’s something absolutely amazing.

I agree with you, I typically only leave a review when something is terrible as a warning.
I’ve never left a review for stardew valley and I have around 500hrs or so.
You don’t leave a le funny review on every game? No cake recipe or a picture of a cat? Are you even a real gamer?
God I hate meme reviewers so much. Absolutely insufferable.

Having a middle option of ratings in common categories would be nice too, like what I’ve seen many reviews do in text.
