I saw this news when I woke up today and it took me a few reads for it to actually go in.

 

My initial thought was "Huh, how is that name ban worthy?", then I had 10 minutes to actually wake up (and a coffee) and when I read it again I laughed, probably more than I should have done.

 

Its clearly manipulation but still pretty humorous.

yeah agreed

 

but also thinking about it maybe steam should change their layout also considering its located so closely to reviews

yes anyone with half a brain should understand but then again we have warnings on products for reasons like this lol

It is funny, but oh you'd really need to be stupid to fall for stuff like that. What, just glancing on "very positive" anywhere on the side and say oh yeah it's good... pft.

you would die in your sleep because some brain power is reserved for heartbeats and breathing.

Reminds me of that guy who used a thing left to allow prisoners to appeal bad judgements to force the state to give him a legal name change of “Harley Davidson III”.  Someone discovered a way to break the steam rating system. There will be others.

They basically asked for it. It's fine to use it as a funny name on multiplayers games maybe, but not as a actual company name. There's also a reason company names have a policy.

Funnily this reminds me of some brands in my country. We have food products with names like So Nice and Real Good.

It's not just "anywhere" though; it's very close in position to where the actual review ratings are. Humans quickly glance over and automate processes all the time in everyday life without exerting much thought into them. What the developer is attempting is taking advantage of just that; hoping users will quickly glance up, see "very positive" and assume that is the game's rating without fully investigating.

Really Steam should make a better UI though.
