Not to be totally negative here, and sorry if I am. But I am just not seeing the point to this. I mean, it is a cool idea, but just not something I would be interested in.
But, betting on a score of a game seems kind of pointless. Games like Fable and Brute Force which were super hyped and takes years to make came out with such low scores for what was expected of them. At the same time games like The Xbox 360 launch titles got mainly high scores for most of them being slightly above average games.
Again, I am not bashing the idea of these futures, but instead having trouble understanding the point and also the need for them. To me, this sounds more like a lottery then anything else.
