I'm not happy with review score inflation either. It's mindboggling when I see a game get a high 70 even though it was very clear that the reviewer didn't actually have fun with the game. I think "average" should be no higher than 65 (which is the equivalent of a C grade in school, which is average) , no lower than 50 (mid point). Personally I lean more to making 50 the average. That is the midpoint between 1 to 100. This isn't school where you can't go failing half the class (unless your instructor is a real jerk. lol), that's why 65 is the average norm in school as opposed to 50. But when you see reviewers make 75 or whatever it is the new average, that's just bs. Reviewers are too afraid of angering game devs by giving them a low grade because they depend on game companies for advertising revenue. Pretty corrupt system. This is how it should be:
0-9 Epic Fail
10-19 Horrible
21-29 Poor
31-39 Weak
41-49 Needs Improvement
50-59 Mediocre/Average
60-69 Decent
70-79 Good
80-89 Great
90-99 1337
