Well, bonuses are still paid with Metacritic so even publishers put weight into them.

We're not publishers and I doubt that was the perspective the OP was intending to portray.

What we end up with, then, is a "list wars" entry that includes years old ports like Fez and Rayman Legends but leaves out games like Dragon Age, Far Cry, Final Fantasy XIV, and Mario + Rabbids.  Ask the average video game fan which is more relevant and see what they say.  Threads like this are just meta-score masterbation exercises with very little real meaning.  That's why it makes me chuckle when someone touts an arbitrary "90" from a handful of strangers while disregarding an "89".  That's just silly and makes people look out of touch with reality.

Well, it may be an arbitrary cut-off and discussion, but it's still interesting to compare in the least. It may not have any practical use but it does have a use for those who just enjoy making lists and comparing things.
