I disagree with your thread title because its never been useful to me. Even ratings that are based on recent results (think IFPA ratings) can never be perfectly accurate and those are based on objective criteria such as win/loss ratio. A totally subjective list will only be useful to a small subset of users and probably in different, individual ways.
Quoted from Rbviessman:Sounds like many people have given up on the system.
Sounds like too many people assign meaning to a system that is inherently meaningless. We should do better.
Quoted from Betelgeuse:I disagree with people saying the rankings don't matter. ...they do affect overall demand and pricing of a particular title.
I argue the demand and pricing drives the rankings, not the other way around. Are there really a significant number of people buying based on ranking? I think buying based on theme and game play is far more common.
