I think the best one is still 1-10 score system as it gives you the clearest answer.



Of course. It's a metric that has been here since many, many years. Thing is: this only is a good metric if games you like get good reviews. If it's otherwise and this happens too often, it's immediately bad, no matter how good it was before.

Not really. It's like the article itself says: There is no scale of 1-10.

Today's games are graded on a 6-10 scale, where even a 74 is considered a total failure as it's colored yellow. And it has become commonplace to call crap every game that scored below 8/10. Of course, people like some on this forum like to use those scores to fuel their petty fan wars, but anybody who managed to read and comprehend the article can clearly deduce that the 1-10 scale without lower five grades is very detrimental to the industry, developers in particular...

Because, to just put an ad that says 8/10 is no longer enough...your game needs to have at least 4.5 stars to be able to sell without a $50 million ad campaign.
