Steam Review Abuse Monitor
A web app for Steam developers/publishers that monitors incoming reviews, flags suspicious reviewer behavior patterns (e.g., ultra-short playtime across many titles, bursty negative activity), and generates a clean evidence packet for Steam support.

Steam Review Abuse Monitor
A web app for Steam developers/publishers that monitors incoming reviews, flags suspicious reviewer behavior patterns (e.g., ultra-short playtime across many titles, bursty negative activity), and generates a clean evidence packet for Steam support. It also tracks review velocity and rating impact to quantify business risk and prioritize response actions.
Target customer
Indie game developers and small publishers on Steam (studio head, community manager, or solo dev) managing store reputation with low-to-mid review volume
Problem-solution fit
For games with low review counts, a handful of low-effort negative reviews can materially change the rating badge and conversion. This product turns vague suspicion into documented, time-stamped evidence, reduces manual investigation time, and standardizes escalation so devs can react quickly and consistently.
