Valve has seen your jokes and found them wanting. Continuing an uncharacteristically talkative week for the company, the house of Steam has rolled out a new, auto-enabled user review filter that takes aim at "humorous but unhelpful" posts like "jokes, memes, ascii art" and one-word reviews.
In a new Steam blog post, Valve says "we are ready for public testing of a new system that changes the way Steam sorts user reviews on store pages with the goal of prioritizing reviews that can best help players make a purchase decision about the game. This new helpfulness system is now enabled by default, and can easily be toggled within the user review settings for each game."
