Why is that? A system from 1 - 5 is more just then 1 - 2. Let's say I don't like Divinity Original Sins because the story is a dissapointment and the gameplay get's boring after a while. If I can only give a thumps down I put it in the same category as Ride to Hell or any other game that is garbage.

Don't forget that in addition to the simple thumbs up/thumbs down review system, Steam also has the average user rating summary that goes from Overwhelmingly Negative to Overwhelmingly Positive, with like 6 steps in between or so, so that's actually an even greater spectrum than GOG's five stars, even if the voting is less direct. But IMO the general summary is usually just as reliable as GOG's average star rating (or even more). And if I'm not mistaken, the character limit on Steam seems less restrictive than on GOG. The reviews over there can be pretty long, in depth and helpful sometimes, worth checking out even if you shop exclusively on GOG.

And...the reviews can be altered later on.
So, if I change my mind, or something which I complained about, gets patched out, etc., I can simply actualize my review.

Ok that makes sense. Forgot about the summary.

choosing "community" as a point is kinda weird though, we're not a "community", just a bunch of customers, and i don't really think gog is that much better than steam in terms of post quality or reviews to be honest.

having some really good games available here and only here is awesome, but there's little more than that for me. i just like to support cdpr because of the witcher series.

And these customers... do they have something in common and are they able to communicate with each other? What do you think a community is? A wizzard club for depressed werewolf soccer moms?

That made me laugh because it is accurate :) Well done.

EDIT:

For Me, GOG is better as...

* DRM-FREE
* Much better support. (They may reply late but they get the job quicker).
* Much MUCH better community.

That's actually a very good point. Now there have been some attempts to create community activity outside the store, like GOGwiki, but basically you are correct.

On the other hand, it would sound a bit strange to compare which store has a better clientele?

That's because Steam do not ask you to rate the game, but rather ask the binary question 'would you recommend this game? yes / no' . The nuances is then captured in the review you are supposed to write as well. and to be honest, I think this is a better way of classifying a game, as any type of rating is arbitrary in nature anyway

* People here are "usually" smarter and more mature. I am afraid to read/write anything on Steam forums because 9 out of 10 times it turns into meaningless arguments. Here on GOG, people with different opinions are able to discuss (argue) their point of views without calling the other side "names".

* People here are helpful. GOG user base maybe one tenth of Steam but the chance that you'll get a proper answer here is significantly higher.

Ofcourse, those are my personal experiences and opinions.

BTW, it literally writes "COMMUNITY" at the top.

this is what i meant with my original post and yeah, it's kinda weird. this is mostly a space to post and talk to each other but i'd hardly call it a "community". it's more a social media-like space where people comment whatever they want.
there are many times when this does not happen, and it's part of the reasons why people want to get rid of the reputation system

'would you recommend this game? yes / no' That depends on the person I'm dealing with. This question can't be answered with yes or no but only with yes and no.

II'd say it's better than the x out of y system. while metacritic and rotten tomatoes have been under fire for many things, i'd say it would be interesting to put "official reviews" next to user generated ones. if critics love them but people hate it it's a bad game, and vice versa.

No one is seriously expecting you to answer it for people who wouldn't like that type of game...
