That 45 or 58 year old dad game review

[Ｍｏｎａｄｎｏｃｋ]

Man, there sure are alot of 45 or 58 year old fathers out there who's son got the game from an uncle, and the father is now playing the game with the son since wife died and they're so close together now and blah blah blah.

Lots of people posting reviews like that for a whole slew of MP games, with what I would assume is the sole purpose of point farming by pulling on heartstrings. Don't take my word for it, go look at reviews for a large portion of MP games, you'll see the review: "I'm a 45 year old father...". They're virtually exact copies, word for word. A few examples are Monster Hunter Rise, Mechwarrior 5, Sea of Thieves, V Rising, Risk of Rain 2, Ready or Not, Raft etc.

It's just copy pasted stuff, don't fall for it by giving them your points.

With that said, is it gross behavior, or perfectly acceptable as long as people allow themselves to be duped?

Like what Ryan mentiones during this Sketch;

"..I bought this for my husband and he loves it!.."
"..I think i saw the exact same Review on other Articles as well!.."
"..Well a lot of wifes buy stuff for their Husbands and they love it!.."
XD

I'm not sure there's actually anything to report them for regarding Steam rules. I just think it's an interesting phenomena to see a small sect of people pulling a fast one on an otherwise unsuspecting populace, and succeeding.

They are copypastas, and people like them for the irony of it all... So really no one is actually being tricked here, besides you it seems.

If they're actual copypastas then it's reportable as spam.

They are also completely off-topic.

Oh ok. So all the people commenting about how nice and awesome it is for a dad to connect with their son under that kind of condition is being said ironically.

You're right, I guess I was duped. Silly me.

Any kind of copypasta/trolling doesn't help the people who read it to determine whether the game is good or not, so reporting spam reviews leaves room for the ones that can help consumers decide whether or not to buy the game.

And that gives that person steam points to spend in point shop, basically begging for clown awards if it isn't genuine.
