It says on the page, "This review has been banned by a Steam moderator..." Probably not even a contractor, but just a volunteer. And now Valve is taking a significant PR hit because of their ineptitude. You get what you pay for.

It's not about the censored review. The story here is about the fact that people who marked this review as helpful got punished for doing so. And that's an order of magnitude more severe fuck up.
