Literally just a simple thumbs up/thumbs down that tracks both numbers separately, or does what reddit does and shows you a total with the downvotes subtracted from the upvotes.
Maybe even add a system where if something receives so many negative votes, after some time it just gets removed from the platform?

Please no! Do not remove games. Just let people know what the rating and opinions are, let people choose if they want it or not. We are fighting so games do not get removed from stores and you suggest doing that? There are games the majority of users don’t like, but some do. And sometimes games with bad ratings become good games with good ratings.
That can be achieved with an algorithm instead. No need to remove games from a store, no matter how bad or unpopular they are. Also removing and republishing a game would render any links to the game unusable, and remove bad ratings and reviews of the game, so there is nothing won with this, only lost. It would only add to the confusion.
The problem with pure voting like that is often that it can be gamed. It helps to know the number of downvotes, for sure, but bot farms will game ratings real quick. Of course, that’s a problem with any metric, but it means that public voting doesn’t solve the problem.

I could have expanded on that a little more. I just meant to not clutter up their storefront or whatever. I’d make it so it could be re-published
