Just playing devil's advocate here. I would probably represent one of the new influx of gamers and typically play with a family non-gamer friends so I'm all about gateway+ games. I have around 120 games (Bazmondo123) but only about 3 of them in the top 100 and none in the top ten. The top ten on BGG is still dominated by real gamer, heavier games, so I would have imagined they do still mean something to go by for the seasoned gamer, and it has not been skewed by an influx. Was also wondering even if new gamers votes have changed the ranking order why this would be rendered meaningless. Surely new gamers votes are as important has gamer gamers votes?
