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.....

    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.

    You don't leave a le funny review on every game? No cake recipe or a picture of a cat? Are you even a real gamer?

    I'm not a real gamer, just an adult with disposable income and thousands of hours playing games, at least as far as steam tells me.... so maybe I'm a problem gamer?

    I have no idea about the whole steam point system, i totally ignore it... i just buy games on deep discounts... so while I have 6000 hours of play time, I have a backlog of games with 20,000 hours of possible play time, and I will die with steam games I've paid real actual money for that I have never, ever, ever played.

    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).
