I'm puzzled by the "This is the best game ever" and 10/10 flood of late.

@bugrimmar:

What you seem to ignore is that no one is saying that a score of "10" means "best game ever, no game could ever improve on it." It means that at the time of release, the game stands above its peers and sets a new standard. That doesn't mean that a new standard couldn't be set two years later, or even a week later. If someone were then to retroactively re-rate the previous standard-setting game, it may no longer qualify for that score. Scores are subjective to many factors, not in the least their release window.

I don't think anyone seriously believes that ANY game is the "best game forever of all time." There's always a chance that something could come out and better it.
