Reviews are not tools for consumers nearly so much as they are vehicles for discourse.

Ideally, I mean.

Eh, ideally to me use defines purpose so the two are always aligned.  Reality is we get things with purpose but no use or things used but not for their inteded purpose.

I'm sorry

What?

Ideally:

A:  "I write the review to help you decide whether or not to buy it."
B:  "I read the review to help me decide whether or not to buy it."

A:  "I write the review to give information about the game."
B:  "I read the review to gain information about the game."


Reality:

A:  "I write the review to give information about the game."
B:  "I read the review to help me decide whether or not to buy it."

A:  "I write the review to help you decide whether or not to buy it."
B:  "I read the review to gain information about the game."
