    Just my suggestion for how to improve the top 100.

    Average the scores across all game models into 1 score and make that the score ranking is based upon versus the highest end model. This would eliminate the POTC CE situation we are seeing today as well as when new Stern LE's are released. POTC would still be ranked #1 at 8.92 but would have a great chance to move up and down the rankings as opposed to being rated on only a handful of reviews. This option would also discourage review bombing (or review praising). This solution would also still allow for separate model entries (good for filtering, game overview, ads, etc).

    Quoted from Waxx:

    Serious question, why does Dialed In only have one listing instead of separated Standard, LE, and CE?
    Edit: I just looked at the top 100 and Batman 66 and Wizard of Oz only have one listing too. Shouldn’t Batman 66 SLE be the ultimate representation of that pin. I’m just curious how you choose to apply the separation.
    Thanks

    All of those games in my opinion should have unique entries based on how other games are being treated. This is also why I would go with the idea posted above as it would prevent Dialed In, WOZ , Batman 66, EHOH, from being ranked unfairly high (all have a super high end model) based on only a handful of reviews of the highest end model.

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    Another suggestion for new games. I know this sounds crazy, but let the game sit for a year before you can rate it. None these games are even close to finished until then.
    I can’t even believe that there have been 117 ratings of stranger things already. It’s missing so much.

    Yeah good idea, that does hurt game rankings. Still, if manufacturers are going to release games with very incomplete code and or mechanical / quality issues for $6k - $10k+ they deserve most of the poor reviews.
