XP awarded for doing game reviews (that you already own)

[the Winter Warlock]

You know, some people do write reviews, but I don't mind doing it. I have done quite a few and believe that perhaps steam can give bonus XP for reviews. After all, we are offering insight to the games people are and wanting to buy. Hell even 10-20 xp per review of 200 words is not much to ask.

Just a suggestion, not a demand...

"Example Game" is listed as an FPS, but most of the time you play it will be spent doing crossword puzzles. And half the words are misspelled. It's quirks like this that change what could have been an enjoyable diversion into a frustrating slog where the player.... (Read more)

It will be abused, which means people need to start clearing it, and possibly hand out punishments. If there are punishments, there will be people complaining to support.

In an open system like it is now, you don't want a reward. You just want the people who do it for the love of it, and try to filter out those who have a bone to pick with either the developer, the publisher, or the game. You don't need a ton of spam from those trying to get something for free.

Ya I like doing it. I figured it would be nice to get a little xp without having to go through the hassle of buying and trading cards to level up.

Like a said, a suggestion. Not a demand. If they do it, great, if not, well c'est la vie. *shrug

No absolutely not a good idea.

It's a horrible idea, reviews is abused as it is now, if what you suggest ever should be added, it would make review spam go through the roof.

Good idea, but I think that it'd promote poor/unmotivated reviews. It's nice now that we have a lot of reviewers that post simply to try and help the community and for no other reward.

I am still going to do reviews, regardless. :-)
