    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    I don't think it's broken.
    A game title's editions are grouped together.
    The top score of that group determines the title's overall rank. That way, a particular editions doesn't unfairly act as a boat anchor dragging down the game title.
    Just tap/click the game title on the list, and it shows all the editions and their scores.
    Personally, I think it's a lot more understandable than having multiple editions of the same title scattered around on the list. That would dilute the overall rankings and be unfair against titles that only have one edition.
    Not every LE edition ranks higher than the other editions. Occasionally, they rank lower.

    Thanks for saying this FF, spot on.

    After thinking about this for the last few weeks, I believe a game's ranking should definitely be grouped together just as it's always been. Take the highest rated game, within the different versions and that's the games ranking. That way an awesome machine isn't pulled down because of a lousy version of the game. And if you want to know where the other versions of that machine rank, just click on the game, and you'll see those different versions with each ones individual rating. You can even click on each version and then read the rating reviews from people for that version. So if a "Pro" version is lousy, but a "Premium" plays great, while the "LE" has the same gameplay as the Premium, and basically has only a bunch of added "bells and whistles", people can make well informed decisions on which version to purchase while keeping the overall rankings in proper perspective and where they should be. 3 different versions of a great machine like AC/DC in the top 100 is silly and dilutes the whole premise of the rankings.

    Picture the rankings 10 years from now with the top 100 having only 40 machines in it, because the other 60 spots are taken up by 3, 4 or 5 different versions within the same game. Then, the top 500 becomes taken up by 200 total games because those games' plethora of different versions are all over the place. It ruins it.

    Keep it the way it's been. Thats my honest opinion anyway. Insert 2 penny emojis for my .02 cents. = )
