I think that some might be leaping to premature conclusions.
These formulae are only to assist in any evaluation, they cannot be the
final word. Although game_x might score 7.5 and game_y is 8.5, this does
not say that one is better than the other. Only that they score
differently in the formulation.
After the evaluation of many other games, these can be charted and
compared with known quantities. For instance, where do some of the most
favorite games fall within this pattern?
When a large enough sampling has been accumulated, one can then state that
if a game falls within certain parameters it might either be bad or good.
And still this will not be an absolute statement.
