This is the exact reason why Steam had a separate “recent reviews” statistic. A well-reviewed game with negative recent reviews is a good indicator that something broke (three exact reason should be spelled out in the reviews).
The only issue is that such reviews are not “self-cleaning” once the issue gets fixed, and not every negative reviewer will remove or correct their review manually.
The Japanese version of the NES was a toploader, and the NES itself had a toploader version later on as well.
Also, what’s with the personal attack?
