My point is, as I stated, that the rating on DriveThruRPG mostly reflect the raters agenda, rather than a true representation of the product.
Read the 1 Star reviews. It is easy to guess they come from people trying to "burn down the house" one way or another.
I'd say to read the 5 Star reviews, but... Since half of the 5 Star ratings appeared within 30ish hours of this thread going live, it isn't difficult to imagine some of the Catalyst Crusaders from these forums rushing over to DriveThruRPG to fight the injustice as they see it.
Reading the 4 Star reviews show most of those posters don't give much weight to the continuing quality issues from CGL.
Taken as a whole, this means that the exact ratings aren't weighed properly to make any real judgements toward the
actual rating of the Sixth World Core Book.
Now, I didn't touch on the posters feelings at all. They are all perfectly valid. The criticisms are valid. The ratings are off, and not particularly "fair."
Where do I get this notion of fair?
From these very forums, of course. (It doesn't start until around page 8, or so.)
I'm just following forum procedure. In that thread, it was meant to shut down / cancel the critiques coming from Roll4It, and when I bring it up here on DriveThruRPGs ratings, I'm (essentially) accused of conspiracy theories when applied to 5 Star ratings only (even though I applied it to 1 Stars as well).
And that is the real point.
