> don't think most people set out to make mediocre media.

Heh I’m not sure. I’ve been following the drama around CA and total war recently and the company seems to have set to do exactly that. Pump out mediocre recycled crap as long as people keep buying it. Except this time it’s blown up on them.

At least it's better than the scale used by many outlets to rate wine, where 80/100 is for wines they consider undrinkable, and 91/100 is a pretty good mid-level wine.
