Curious about how they'd approach this.

In practice, even with the same system specs and game settings, if you run through a game in a slightly different manner than someone else, it might paint a different performance picture for you than it does for them. The more a game allows free roaming, the more variation there will be in results. I doubt they'll ask everyone to run a benchmark for each game (and to further that, not every game has a benchmark capabilities built in to begin with).

At least they have the benefit of potentially having huge data sets on their hands, so things would probably even out.

While we're at it, can we also talk about things that look like chat notifications, but exist only to draw your attention? Those are misleading as fuck and IMO should be ruled out as well.
