    One truth about the "rating(s) system(s)" on this site... This is more obvious within the first few months that a game is released...

    This site is MOSTLY made up of young and middle aged men who like expensive toys.

    The default "100 list" (or whatever the hell it's called) is, quite often, justification for spending thousands and thousands of dollars on these adult toys.

    If you know and realize this before you look at that default list, you will be fine. If you DON'T realize this, it will probably drive you insane.

    If you don't want newer games (or whatever games) to show up, just set up/modify the game criteria to make your own custom list(s) for date range from 1900-2018 or whatever... (I thought you could do this and keep multiple views but I could be wrong.)

    I realize there are those that simply rate games and don't own them. That's part of the system but maybe there should be a certain "proof" involved when submitting results. Maybe you should have to type in the serial number (or LE #) of the machine. Nah, too tedious. I mean, would you end up rating a machine that was routed to death with weak flippers exactly the same as a HUO one that has a couple hundred plays on it?

    Complaining about lists of thousand dollar toys is fine, just make sure you understand the dynamics of what is actually happening here.
