Certainly trolls deserve quite a bit of the blame. But Steam is also to blame for allowing people to vote on games they've never even played before, and allowing games that haven't been updated in over a year to be eligible for labor of love. When 5 games someone doesn't own are the options, it just becomes a contest of which game is best known.
