    Yeah if things are fine and I bought the game I don’t leave a review. Only if it’s exceptionally good, or I feel I need to warn others do I take the time to review.

    Basically if I bought a game and put more then 5 hours into it and didn’t have anything to say, that is my positive appreciation signal

    I’ve got 2000 hours in Factorio and haven’t left a review on steam…

      I agree with you, I typically only leave a review when something is terrible as a warning.

      I’ve never left a review for stardew valley and I have around 500hrs or so.

      Honestly I’m not really a fan of how steam does it’s reviews with the requirement of text.

      If it would just let me give a blank thumbs up that doesn’t show up, I’d be more willing to leave a thumbs up. Just that little bit of resistance after a day’s worth of work is enough to discourage me to do anything unless it’s something absolutely amazing.

        Having a middle option of ratings in common categories would be nice too, like what I’ve seen many reviews do in text.

      Not saying anything is not a signal for anything. For indie games, I tend to leave at least a positive one-liner (unless it’s trash, of course, then it might be a negative one-liner).
