Umm, so it's harder to manipulate the rating? I mean, seriously, without that requirement, the ratings would be just as worthless as Amazon or Play Store.

Because someone gifted me a game, my review now doesn't mean anything. That doesn't seem very well thought out.

I have a few games with an embarrassing amount of hours on that I'm not allowed to contribute to the score because they were gifted or redeemed through humble bundle.

Why even review at this point?
