Making a great game is not a guarantee against getting screwed over by an outlier.

The problems lies in the outlet, not the developer.

If the publisher says that they are going to give the developers a bonus if the game reaches a certain score, why is it a ridiculous policy?

Because developers have more control over the quality of the product they make than the reception the game might get. If publishers want to reward good work, they themselves should rely on their own opinion of a product rather than the opinion of the internet.

This happens in every job.

Hell, even the people that flip burgers on a Mc Donalds can reach the Employee of the Month if they exceed and do their work right.

Do you have a job in real life?

Yes, I worked fast food during my college years. Employee of the month didn't rely on an internet aggregator and any complaints were investigated to see if they were valid or not. For a publisher to just rely on an average on an internet website is ridiculous.
