Yeah, I actually would.  For the same reason I wouldn't consider a D+ a C, as illustrated.  

Bare in mind, that I'm not hating or throwing shade at Sea of Thieves.  I have an Xbox One, but online focused games aren't my thing, so this doesn't interest me either way.  I just don't think it's that hard to comprehend why someone wouldn't consider something a "7" until a 7 actually appears in the number. 

If there are more bad scores below 7 pulling it below an actual "7" than there are good scores to pull it above an actual "7", than yeah, it's not a "7".

So would you say horizon is 8 and not a 9, based on its 89 metacritic score? 

If the shoe fits.  If there are more reviews pulling it into the 80's than there are to get it into the 90's, than yeah.
