Hi, I'm A Stupid Person Who Gets Mad At Review Scores (www.thegamer.com)

A 7/10 is basically a complete failure, so why didn't reviewers take my feelings into account before publishing their scores?

I don't see older games being rated lower as a problem. Yes standards rise over time as games and technology gets better, that's fine! If you took a mediocre modern AAA game and showed it to a reviewer 20 years ago, I'll bet all my money it would be game of the year.

It makes more sense to let standards rise and adjust reviews to still keep a reasonable rating scale.
