Ratings are indeed being gamed now, yes. Not sure how long this has been going on, I've started to see it be obvious in the last 6 months.

It's very obvious when looking at the reviews for certain new indie games. All LLM written comments, most short, most low playtime.

Then actual customers come along and buy the game and over the next few weeks the game craters from Mostly Positive to Mostly Negative.
