Maybe change the rate system?

The 5-star system is not recommended for all cases. 

It has been discussed and covered in many UX and media websites and forums.

Maybe I'm biased, but most authors and buyer I know rate 5-star or none at all...and when someone receives anything short of that, most of the times is 1-star and they feel attacked (and some times it is an attack). 

Not to mention that the less ratings someone has, the greater the impact of a bad review.

Wouldn't be more beneficial to switch to a thumbs up/heart system?  If you like, mark you like it. Otherwise, don't.

Some studies say this increase the number of ratings too, also reducing the impact of 

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Yes I agree a thumb up and  down button would make it more clear and easier

Actually almost all of my reviews are in the 2-4 star range.  I only give five star reviews for perfect games that cannot be improved, and I only give one star reviews for total utter garbage.

I prefer the current rating system cause it makes it easier to get glimpse of game's quality.

How do we know a game is bad or not if it doesn't have any thumbs up for, say 6 months?
