Changing the Game - Why Ratings Are Broken – Gaming Podcast

October 5, 2026·59 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan, and Ace are putting the rating system on trial! Have 7/10s become “bad”? Are review scores actually helping us decide which video games are worth playing, or have we completely broken the scale? The guys break down what’s wrong with modern gaming reviews, why video games deserve a better system, and what they’d change to fix it. From overhyped scores to review bombs and everything in between, it’s time to rethink how we judge gaming. Find out how we’d fix gaming ratings on the Video Gamers Podcast!   Thanks to our MYTHIC Supporters: Redletter, Disratory, Ol’ Jake, Gaius, Jigglepuf, Phelps, Bobby S, NorwegianGreaser, Dettmarp, DingusKhaaan and NightWizard63   Thanks to our Legendary Supporters: Milkman, Drewsky, Jigglepuf and BadGam3rDad   Connect with the show: Support us on Patreon: ⁠patreon.com/videogamerspod⁠ Join our Gaming Community: https://discord.gg/h2cHKAvSmu Follow us on Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/videogamerspod/⁠  Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@videogamerspod Follow us on X:⁠ https://twitter.com/VideoGamersPod⁠  Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VideoGamersPod     Visit us on the web:⁠https://videogamerspod.com/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
