About this listen

Host Max examines gaming's broken review system, where scores compress into a 7-10 range instead of using the full scale. Research shows review numbers dramatically influence perception. Grade inflation, vague writing, and publisher pressure create meaningless distinctions between an 8.4 and 8.5, while developer bonuses hinge on single Metacritic points.
