Come on, let's put this in perspective... In Itch's current system, you can rate games without commenting. This doesn't help at all. It allows rating spamming without the player even needing to explain the reason for their rating.

That is, if there are reasons at all, and it's not just a grumpy player saying "I didn't like the content, 1 star."

For Christ's sake, guys. This isn't serious... It's amateurish for an old site like this.

So seriously, my deep desire is, in order to rate a game, the players needing to leave a full comment on WHAT ARE THE REASONS for the good or bad rating.

It might be a pain to moderate thousands of comments, but it's simply unfair to the devs to leave them vulnerable to this kind of thing due to poor/limited moderation.

Oh, totally feel you on this one — ratings without context are basically noise. I think forcing a short comment with reasoning would make everything way more useful for both players and devs. Honestly, it’s like what we do over at https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos for online casinos: we don’t just slap a score on a site or a game, we dig into the reasons behind it licenses, game variety, payment options, bonuses, support, security - you name it. That way, someone reading the review knows why a platform is good or sketchy, not just that it “feels right.” Imagine if Itch did the same for games every rating backed by real reasoning it’d make the feedback actually helpful instead of random stars.
