i agree on most points except for r4r, r4r is a filter to rate games of people who are actively rating. I have rated twice the amount of people than i have rating myself, half of the people are just not rating anyone or very little. r4r filters active people who actually rate and care for each other.
r4r does not guarantees 5 stars will be exchanged, no way to check it, r4r guarantees you will get rated
i was avoiding downloadable games myself, but after creating r4r thread i am actively downloading them (to keep my promise to rate and review)
so you kinda figthing your allies rn.
