Algo pricing run amok?

I ran across In a search of a new home and Magic War today. Both are priced at $24.99. The price histories are interesting, though.

I've been seeing recommendations for a lot of games that cost exactly $1 and all have 10 positive reviews from accounts that only own 1 or 2 games. seel35games and didlstudio came up today, but there've probably been others. I guess the goal here is just to make money off people who are willing to buy something that looks questionable if it's cheap, but who knows?

BloodRain publishing is a purveyor of the finest shovelware. They've released a game almost every week this year and they all look like utter garbage. The only saving grace they have is that they're cheap.

The shovelware manufactures have apparently decided that a 100% positive rating is implausible, so now they're going for mixed reviews. Today I got Jungle Bomb Fever and Slayser, both of which are $59.00 and have exactly 50% positive ratings. I saw another one the other day, but obviously I didn't track it, because who actually wants to remember this crap? The reviews are the most generic things possible, which I guess is designed to fool incredibly gullible people.

I would not be shocked if shovelware devs were turning to generative AI to write game descriptions.

There's more in the thread. Any particular reference could be a coincidence but there would have to be a lot of coincidences for this not to be intentional.

As a general rule, the hardest things for computers to do are the things that we're so good at that we don't have to think about how we do them. We're making progress but we still have a long ways to go.
