Grand Theft Auto Reviews Crash; GTA Online Cheat Killed

The reviews on Steam for Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V have taken a turn for the worse following the recent shutdown of the OpenIV modding tool for Grand Theft Auto V (thanks DSOGaming). The overall rating for each game has dropped to "mixed" as the recent reviews GTAIV are "mostly negative" and the recent reviews for GTAV are now "overwhelmingly negative" as gamers express their anger at the mod shutdown. In semi-related news, PCGamesN notes the shutdown of Force Hax, a paid mod that allowed users to cheat and mess with other players in Grand Theft Auto Online. The mod website now has the following statement:
“After discussions with Take-Two Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development and distribution of the Force Hax cheat menu services. We will be donating our proceeds to charity and we apologize for any and all problems Force Hax services have caused to the Grand Theft Auto Online community.”

So the shutdown of a mod tool for GTA4 causes a flood of negative reviews for GTA5? Stay classy modern day gamers.

Steam reviews need some sort of proper moderation. I understand that the developers themselves cannot be allowed to do it due to massive conflicts of interest, but I am seeing more and more stupid reviews that deserve to be banned or simply not counted toward the review score of a game.

When someone with 60+ hours of playtime in a strategy game posts a review stating that the game is unplayable because one of their heroes' abilities is bugged, that person deserves to be dragged outside and flogged publicly with several lengths of Ethernet cable.

Similarly for people with .4 hours of playtime who post shit like the game is completely broken because they can't map a couple keys the way they want so it gets a negative review.

I'm not a fan of big publishers, but this whole thing just seems like overreaction.
