Well, last thing i will say about all this is, whichever way you throw it,
i see games that are not on zillions and game courier or other programs at
a disadvantage with the 'how many times have you played' question.
And finally, i just hope if a new rating system goes ahead, i really hope
it is seperate, throwing out, what, a decade of ratings, or putting them in
with the new system would be a little disappointing. Surely it can be
seperate. You say the 'hidden' rating system right now is useless, why don't you replace that with your idea, and keep the 'page rating's' as is. Why does this have to get involved?
