I wonder how many real reviews are going to get filtered as "unhelpful" because the developer or other people don't like what the review says, even if what is said is factually true.

One problem steam doesn't have is with fake accounts. They can be reasonably sure which accounts are legit and ignore votes from the more questionable ones
