First, that discussion was extremely premature, coming just two months after the website launched.Also one sentence that gives a general consensus on how a game was received critically is enough, we don't need pointless statistics like "Game X is the in the top Y% of games on platform Z released in year 20**". Too many noobie editors fall into the trap of adding tonnes of review scores to articles, which has no encyclopedic value. Aggregate scoring and reviews scores in general should not be the focus of reception sections and be given less weight anyway. It'll just be a giant waste of time and effort. No doubt, if OpenCritic gets added, there will be plenty of pointless edit wars about which aggregator to use since we don't need both at once. Metacritic scores serve their purpose just fine in Wikipedia articles, no reason to replace or add another aggregator. And the same goes for OpenCritic, the variation between OpenCritic and Metacritic scores is negligible. The decision to cull GameRankings was because their scores are almost always identical Metacritic. My opinion since that discussion has not changed. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Sources/Archive_12#OpenCritic. It's been over a year since its creation so I believe it has a place in the industry as well.
