I agree. Points out a lot of silly things with Eurogamer's recent change.

Providing scores is difficult though, but I do believe they have their place. 
Difficult because comparing two things can be difficult, but even more so because with numbers there's a lot more room for subjectivity.
A review can explain the ways it's being subjective, but a number by itself can't. 
I'll watch the video later.

Eh, I don't like them. The meaning of numbers change from each site and people don't realize this. Then there is the mentality that you only buy 9+ games. Then they are determining salary bonuses on meta critic scores. I still feel bad for Obsidian being 1 point short with New Vegas. Number scores are VERY fun, but I think they do more harm than good.

They do, unfortunately there's too many chefs in the kitchen when it comes to game development.

No my favorite review site is ending review scores!
