What's happening?

The game review grades keep changing?

For example, I have seen Kirby Ultra Star as B-, A-, and C+ -- in that order. The internal grades have changed too.

I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I noticed that. The grade for that Homestar Episode 3 thing went from a B to an A-.

Yeah, yesterday several went from A- to B back to A-. Now they are at C+. I guess some mods (or whoever would have that control) are having some childish feud. But I don't see how they expect people to take VGC scores seriously after this.

Though World of Goo has never changed oddly enough.

As ad revenue comes in from publishers, they adjust scores accordingly. That is how professional video game reviews work.

(Just kidding of course)

There is a problem with the review system on the site. For some reason games are linked together. So when you change the score for one game, it changes the score for some other game/s.

I have a feeling either talonman or ioi are going to fix it ASAP.
