@xreadmore The only issue is people tend to buy games that they like. I always download the demo first to make sure that I like the game. For someone like me, a game I dislike will probably never get a bad rating, and games i enjoy will get good ratings. You end up with game almost only getting good ratings, and so it can be hard to distinguish how good a game is by rating.
A change is needed, but fact is no matter what you do, people will try and find a way to game the system.
Xbox Live Indie Games ratings are being manipulated, devs say
