We have the Like function, but this doesn't give an idea of the game quality.

Implementing a rating (say, from from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10) will help users find the best games (and the worst ones!)

Do I start with fresh values or retain the existing ones?

I mean if you already have rating data, let's use it!

Awesome! Having the data ready to go makes it instantly useful too.

Hmm, starting to doubt the sted ratings data somewhat - it seems like any game that has a decent number of ratings will be over 4 stars, even total crap like https://dosgamer.com/games/play/paper-scissors-rock-2837.html ... wtf?

..er, that should be "stored" ratings above, not "sted".

Those 'ratings' are using like data. Basically a like is a 5 star review, but without a thumbs down the figures become skewed. I'm considering starting fresh ratings for all games.

Yeah I think we should keep likes as they are and start fresh from zero with ratings.

I have just zeroed all the star ratings, so all games will start over with fresh star ratings separate from likes.
