the steam reviews won’t reflect the change in quality.

Actually, Steam now does have two separate ratings. One is for lifetime rating, and the other is for recent ratings.

I know, but that still requires that some people give the game another look and review it. That works for games that people keep checking on to see if it’s good yet, not so much for some no name game that people don’t give a second thought to when it turns out bad at launch.
