Amazon is known to remove inaccurrate or irrelevant ratings.  For
example, if a large quantity of ratings focuses on a single aspect
(e.g. this game had DRM, one star), it gets ranked down.  If it's well
reasoned (e.g. Normally I'd give a high rating, but for this site, you
may expect to come close to the activation limit, thus I'm forced to
give a low rating), it's unlikely to be removed.
