So should No Man's Sky be held to the same score it had at launch even though it was a hot mess and has come a LONG way with free updates since? Or Arkham Knight? Or if Anthem improves a lot? Their hard work doing things for free to improve it for the player doesn't get rewarded with an updated score or is that not what you're saying?

Maybe the system could be reworked to allow GOTY, Special edition, etc to have another entry on the database, but truth is most reviewers wouldn't re-review the game so it would be a very small sample and most likely with inflated scores as possibly the ones that go to re-review are the ones that really liked it.

There was a PC gaming magazine that reviewed again some games after some time, to see if buggy ones bettered, if enhanced, expanded special and GOTY editions were considerably better and also if very good, and particularly very hyped at launch ones had stood the test of time. IIRC it was the glorious PCZone, very funny to read, but very serious in its job, only excellent games received more than 90% rating, and they had no problems rating very bad games less than 20% (that made the game also win the special "pants" award).
