http://www.pcgamer.com/valve-is-tweaking-steam-reviews-again-to-foreground-more-helpful-feedback/
Valve continues to tinker with how reviews are sorted and displayed on Steam, with its latest change concerning "helpful reviews". Whether a review is helpful or not is determined by users, of course, and the metrics are pretty simple: the more "yes" clicks on a review, the more prominently displayed it will be. But naturally enough, that (on paper, easily manipulated) system has been manipulated.
