Consensus... (Gaming)

When you back off from "there exists an absolute ranking" to "there exists an ordering", you're making a less strong claim. But that doesn't actually resolve the issue people have with your argument, which is the assumption that there exists an objective ordering/ranking of game quality.

Didn't I just say that there is no objective ranking given tastes? But that being the case, that criticism is possible and meaningful, despite Claude's claim otherwise?

I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything even REMOTELY like 'criticism isn't meaningful or possible'. I'm pretty sure what I said was closer to 'criticism of a particular work doesn't necessarily lead to the ability to say that work is "better" or "worse" than another work.'
