I think people get hung up on thinking that 7/10 is average, and also the opposite end where people get hung up on thinking that 5/10 is the LITERAL average. 7/10 is the "average score" because, if you take all the scores that have been assigned, that's what they average out to be. 5 is the numerical average, but that doesn't really have anything to do with what the perception of the "average video game" is. The "average video game" is a 7/10 because that's what video games end up being, on average. Most video games are pretty good on average. There are fewer games that are a literal 5 out of 10 "average" experience. Hopefully I'm making sense with that explanation.

Still reminds me of the speech we got before company survey.
"Please, fill this anonimous survey, but remember, that the average score of 5, that Czech people are used to is not what this tool was made for. This tool assumes an American rating, so if you want to say average, please, select 8."
