Its simple.

It is because most of us base our knowledge of the 100% scale on what we were accustomed to in grade school. It might slightly vary from place to place but it kinda went like this....

A = 100-90

B =  89-80

C = 79-70

D = 69-60

E/F= Anything Below that

The only acceptable grades to bring home (no matter what your family background is) is never lower than a C. A C is middling, and deemed as "Average" as far as grades go. No one sees an Essay with a "D" and say "OMG I am so satisfied with this GRADE!!!"

If youre parents were  strict about it, A's, B's, or no dice. No wonder gamers say 80 and above or no buy.


Because gamers are like Asian parents when it comes to ratings on videogames....Anything below 90 might as well be a fail.
