Comment on Do you think we should have an index of how ethical gaming companies are?

How will the ethics be computed? Some people care about AI use in development, some about mass firings, and still others about the presence of non-white characters.
Would your moral compass be imposed or would it merely be a list of attributes that others can assign weights to for a final score based on their criteria?
I think this definitely must be controlled by a community, because, as you correctly said, different people care about different things. Maybe it should be some kind of consensus or voting for different types of ethical problems, idk.
For now, I have no idea how such calculations can be done to be actually “fair”, I’m just proposing a topic for discussion. But, in my opinion, this shouldn’t be done by one person - that’s for sure.
Wild guess: aggregated score card with individual reviewers having a score card. Let users vote up a reviewer to make their vote count more (or down for less) or ignore/block a reviewer to make theirs not count. That way, the user’s own views weigh the score card.
It would be personal opinion, obviously.
One thing I’ve started seeing more of is “scores” where the user is able to actually add multipliers to different characteristics to help them find something that suits their personal needs.

It doesn’t have to be one final score, but a few aspects. Crunch times, slop use, gambling…
