Play store says "From now on, reviews you write will be posted publicly using your Google+ name and picture. ..."<br> </font> </div> <br>
Posted this to Google +. Curious what people on this list have to say<br>as well...<br><br>Nexus 10 just updated, and when I went to Google Play Store, it said<br>"From now on, reviews you write will be posted publicly using your<br>Google+ name and picture. ..."<br><br>I dukgo'd for it and found coverage of this issue from Android Police<br>9 days ago (attached).<br><br>I think people will switch to reviewing only apps they like from now<br>on, and withdrawing reviews rather than changing them when they<br>encounter problems. And I'll be able to trust the reviews a lot less,<br>since anyone saying anything has potential fear of retaliation.<br><br>New thought (new to me): Is Google pushing a "war on negativity"?<br>There's a +1 and not a -1 in G+, after all. Are we being not so<br>subtly brainwashed into thinking everything is rosy in the<br>googleverse?<br><br>-- <br>Best Regards.<br>This is
