I was looking at a tiling asset in the store:
…and saw that it had a 4-star rating.
I looked at all 11 reviews and 10 of them were 5-star, 1 was 4-star. That adds up to a 4.9 rating – so why do you guys round all the way down to 4?
I don’t own that asset, I don’t know the developer, but that seems wrong to round down like that. At 4.9 that asset is closer to a 5 than a 4, so why give prospective purchasers incorrect info?

If you look at the star rating, you’ll see it has 17 ratings, so those six other ratings figure into it as well. I’m guessing that some of those six without reviews are lower and pull the rating down.
I think you’re probably right.
In which case, I’d make the suggestion that the Asset Store require a written review as well as a star rating, the way Amazon does it. If you want to give it a rating, then you also need to be willing to write x number of words about the product.
Someone rating an asset 1-star without explaining why does me no good as a prospective buyer – I don’t know whether they just don’t like the developer or the asset crashes, or what.
