Hi, I just got an idea for pricing games. How about the creators of the game sent review copies to like 100 review sites/magazines whatever, and based of the avarega of the scores ( like metacritic ) the price would be determined?

Like this:

96-100=60$

91-95=57$

86-90=54$

81-85=51$

76-80=48$

71-75=45$

66-70=42$

61-65=39$

56-60=36$

51-55=33$

50>0=30$

I think this would make creators to make better games. Ofcourse this has a few flaws but i think I'm on to something :D.

Discuss.

Yeah, it would kind suck for those big budget games that don't cut it very high. And it's based on opinions so that's another bump in the road.

I think its based on the sales cuz if the game sucks than it wont sale if it dont sale the price drops but so games that sucks sales so yeah the price is on the sales not the review but reviews can help or hurt the sales
