@jameseyryan, I think you are overestimating how hard it will be to predict review scores, particularly in terms of getting enough info. I agree with you partly, but also think that as a community we can gain more insight than we think we'll be able to at this very moment. Some people will have read previews, participated in Betas, played demos, or followed some games very closely. If they share some of this info we gain insight, and this feature will encourage social discussion to some extent. Sure this future will probably be more volatile than most, but not all, other stocks. But that will make it different, which is good, and interesting. As we get more users, this should progress.
