I said that you shouldn't give scores by comparing, not that you should give 5 stars to a bad game because X person made it under X circumstances. So, not 5 stars because he explained a sad story about his life and how he did what he could.

If there is a game similar to a AAA, you will rate it 5 stars and everyone else 1 star?

And if you like a game a lot and you give it 5 stars and then you find a much better one, you go back to give it 4 stars because it is worse in comparison?

If someone does solo a really fun game, on theme and with ok graphics he maybe deserves 4-5 in those categories without need to compare first with others to give rate based on that.

There are some games in the jam that I feel could be released with little to no change, they aren't triple A titles but they're extremely well done. I didn't go back and change anyone else's score as a result of this, but I also didn't lower the score of those games if they had a larger team or appeared to have more experience than most submitters. :) But even in those cases they didn't necessarily get the highest score in all categories, I did my best to judge those individually regardless of my overall impressions of the game.

Again, I didn't said that either....

Nowhere have I said that you have to give 5 stars on everything to a game made by one person in one day due to sad circumstances.

And nowhere have I said that you have to give lower stars on everything to a game made by 8 or more experienced people.

I just said that I don't think you should take those two games and give them a rating by comparing the two. Thats all.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be accusatory or put words in your mouth. :(

I was trying to clarify my own thoughts on how I rated things but I did a poor job of it.
