    The top 100 is definitely meaningful and a decent representation of how the community rates games. I read it like the IMDB top 250 movies: the latest blockbusters will not be accurate, so you have to take those ratings with a grain.

    The one massive flaw that robin implemented, that makes the list far, far worse, is choosing LE ratings for games rather than an average rating between pro, prem & LE. This means that almost all Stern games are solely rated by home owners, when the pros are the most played pinball machines on the planet. Averaging the ratings makes way more sense than the logic that we should rate them only on the supposed "best" version of the game. This goes for JJP's games as well.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    Averaging different versions like that wouldn't make any sense though. If there's multiple versions of a game, the lesser version shouldn't drag down the ranking of the best version. The only reason games were grouped together was to prevent the list from having different versions of the same game everywhere, but still keep rankings as close to as they would be without that feature. So it only makes sense to rank a group of games based on the score of the best version.

    By that logic, one could argue that the LEs prop up the pros. There are far more pros, so they represent the game that is played the most. Averaging the scores is far more sensible and accurate with regard to real world experience.
