That doesn't sit right with me.
- Yeah, it's kind of messed up that I read a 66 as a stunningly negative response.
  
  "Gave me a terminal disease." - 6/10
  
  It helps me to think of it like school grades, where under 70% is a D and <60% is an F.
- Games basically start at a 4/10 if they at least launch and are playable.
- Vanity rating.
- Think of it this way : should games that people pay money for be below average, ie, failures?
  
  Anything below 60% shouldn't even see the light of day, really. Seen like this, it seems a lot more reasonable to me that 30% of released games would be below 70%. In fact, I'd say it's still way too many games that probably should still be in the oven.
