I do believe that we don't need to give bad reviews but to give fair reviews for example I'm not going to lie if the game isn't accessible at all I may give two stars out of five or if it's half way accessible then two and a half or three. I use to be a programmer but am not anymore, developers need test for accessibility and list yes or no in the info. If I pay for an app and it's not compatible with voice over I have the right to rate down for incomplete work on the developers part.
