Howso? If indie games are easier than retail games, then maybe it makes sense to have less than 1000G, and I'm sure that was part of the rationale behind 200 (now 400) for Arcade instead. But many Arcade games take longer to 100% than a lot of retails titles. At the end of the day, that's why a site like TA exists. The GS base doesn't matter so much. The TA, and more importantly, the ratio show a level of effort, if that's what you're looking for in a "Gamer score". GS as a measure of effort has been dead since Avatar if not before.
