Another reason is that we've always tried to incorporate the price and dollar-value of a game into its score. A pretty unremarkable game listing for $20 may get a 2.5-3; the same mediocre game listing for $50 is more deserving of a 1.5-2.

Since Underground games are all freeware by definition, this comparison just can't be made. In the twisted scoring formula floating around in my head, every Underground game gets a divide by zero error. Plus, I have lots of respect for the fact that UG developers are doing this 100% for pleasure, not at all for monetary benefit.
