    These kinds of lists have to factor in popularity too though. Otherwise the top 1,000 would all be shovelware with 1 or 2 negative votes. It’s not interesting or useful to point out that the games no one is going to play anyway are bad. A game that’s popular enough to even make it onto the list obviously isn’t going to actually literally be the worst game on Steam. That’s just how it has to work.

      I wish Amazon worked that way. Sort by reviews and you get random Chinese garbage with 1 5* review from the importer’s mom.

        The old ‘most reviews’ sort on newegg.com was honestly the best way to find decent stuff. Well that combined with comprehensive filters to narrow the search down significantly. There are certain products you just can’t successfully search for on Amazon because there’s no way to filter out the irrelevant trash.
