Scores shouldnt be updated though, if you want to teach them a lesson, let those low scores forever scar the game. That will teach them a hard lesson about launching unfinished
I don’t agree on that, there needs to be a way to show that a game has crawled back from the dirt so they actually care to keep updating a game like Hello Games has done with No Man’s Sky.
And some games get worse after patches and that needs to be displayed too.
Everything should be about showing the current state of the product someone are about to pay for.
Steam reviews work well imo, a score can be updated, it shows how much a gamer has actually played, when posting the review and total playtime, and you can filter for recent reviews which catch how patches has improved a game, and it shows if you’ve received the game for free which means shills can get filtered out.
