Hi, I have a request for an option regarding the scores pulled from the Steam Store for the Community Score field.
I noticed many times that the value pulled for the Community Score didn't accurately reflect the score I was seeing on Steam, and after some investigating, I believe the score pulled is actually similar to SteamDB, weighted against the number of reviews on Steam the game has, which makes the end number lower for games with fewer reviews.
To illustrate what I'm talking about, there's a game called Hunter Girls by the publisher Meridian4. On Steam the score is 80% for a Very Positive rating, but it's only out of 50 reviews. Meanwhile SteamDB says 54 out of 77 reviews are positive... and calculates it as 64%, which is way lower and potentially less useful. There are discrepanices like these all over.
This is fine for some, but I personally just want the straight score from Steam, no weighting. Is there any way to provide this as an option for those who want it? Would really appreciate it if the option could be granted, please and thank you.
