    IMO this is a good thing. With a “mixed” option, it’s hard to know where the borders are for each person. Say you rate a game on a scale of 0-100 - is “mixed” 30-70, or 25-75, or 20-80, or anything else?

    AFAIK with surveys etc. there’s also a bias towards the “middle” option. By not giving one, you force people to think harder about their opinion, which in turn makes the rating more useful.

      Hmmm I see your point. I guess I’ll just keep giving “recommend / don’t recommend” reviews and writing the details with words.
