Feature description

How do we compare games from 1972 with 2025? Arguably Pong was something like 100/100 back in 1972, but I think many would agree that (insert your favourite game of 2024 which you personally rate 100/100) is "better". How do we deal with the moving standards/moving expectations?

We could either agree that games from 1970 cant be compared with the 2020s (current user score)
We could downgrade all historical scores as we set new high watermarks
We could allow scores >100, so eg maybe games now are in the 1000-10000 range (10 to 100 times better than pong) and in 20 years time will be the in 1e5-1e6 range.

We could also allow negative scores. One thing which annoys me is "whats average" is not well defined. Is it 70/100? 3 stars/5 stars? Why not let users define their own "average" point. I would make mine 0, so games <0 were games I wished I could get my time back from, and games >0 Im happy to have spent my time on.
