Why isn't there a user on the Reddit review from the store page?

Seems fitting that mankind's biggest circle jerk would speak as a unit, but was this the intention?
Was that the comment that made it to the top of the soy pit? Still doesn't explain why no user is credited

would you maybe care to explain a little bit what you are talking about ^^ ?

I am guessing that they want to know who said the following line found on the store page:

No other game in the history of gaming handles the logistics side of management simulator so perfectly. - Reddit

I was thinking of purchasing at full price, but would like to check out the sources. Guy could be a Nazi for all I know

You want to do a background check on every last one of the 59886 Steam reviews in case one of them is a Nazi? Well knock yourself out I guess

There's only 3 and I'm just wondering why it's the only one with no source. It just stood out is all

Some random person on the internet said they liked the game and your concern is if they're a nazi?

[Morsk]

It's a troll post. The OP has the word "soy" which is a word Nazis use to whine about any man who isn't a Nazi. Then in a reply, the starts expressing concern about Nazis. It is utter nonsense.

True, but mainly it's used to describe people who use Reddit because they post their hand injuries that happen after opening their soy bottles.

No I'm wondering why Reddit is being represented as one person

@OP. Perhaps the quote is used because the person didn't want to be identified? Check out the many many reviews of the game, ask questions *about the game* in the forums if you really are interested in playing. Refrain from being trolly, because your post certainly fits those qualifications.

If I was selling a game I'd pay some nobody 35 cents to write whatever I wanted on a random reddit post so I could quote it on my product page.

Why am I not surprised.

From what I've seen Factorio devs have morals and value honesty, so I doubt they'd do that.

I suspect someone actually made that statement of their own free will. The game is well received and has had plenty of positive reviews. However, a quote without an actual source isn't much of an endorsement as you can't verify if and when it was actually made, who made it, in what context it was made, and whether the person making it was given or hoped to receive some kind of compensation for making it. All those things are just as important if not more important than the actual quote.

On the other hand, no one should really take quotes on any advertising page as anything more than propaganda as they are cherry-picked to show the product in the most positive light. They exist only to suggest to you what you should think so that the advertiser can try to guide your thoughts during the important first impression. They help you only to understand what the advertiser wants you to think and you have to compare that to a larger body of user reviews to see if those statements ring true or if they exist as empty hype. Since you shouldn't be reading them as truth anyway, maybe it doesn't really matter who said the quotes.

tbh i would also wanna credit the person or people who posted the quote or review. Just saying something like:

"This game changed my life and cured cancer" -some hobo behind the street

♥♥♥♥ i'd wanna ask questions from....well everything.
