2 questions:
- is MaGog listed in Google?
- is it possible\good to show the number of votes as some sort of colored bar, meaning rating reliability?
(just for example: x<10 black, x<20 red, x<50 orange, x<100 yellow, x<200 green, x<500 blue, x>=500 white)

I don't seem to find it. I don't go out of my way to have it listed, nor to prevent it. It's unlikely to appear soon as the only links to it are from the GOG forums.

Will add it to my to-do (or rather to-consider) list, but it'll wait until after I release what I am currently working on (hint: NOT MaGog Galaxy) in a few weeks.

Meanwhile, please see if just sorting the results by ascending or descending "Number of Ratings" is not good enough.

It works a bit if you sort by stars+NoR, but it's not perfect as that order is meaningless.
Random example: LastDoor 4.5 73 is before EscapeGoat2 4.5 22, but probably EG is better but with fewer votes.
I'd probably only use stars+name and watch that "coloured bar" each time.
Anyway, it's just an idea on the fly.

(the ideal super hard rating would be one that also considers: user number of rated games, user reviews votes, rating with\without purchase+download, etc.. but lol)

The whole problem arises from the fact that my data is limited. Because I get my data from the HTML rather than from GOG's database, my resolution is merely 0.5 points (e.g. 4.50, which probably stands for anything between 4.01 and 4.50), which is too crude.

Yes sorry, that wasn't really a request to you, but just a wish for better rating systems based on subjective values and opinions.

That's ok. I didn't think it was a request. I was just ranting about MaGog's limitations.
