I took each rating for games on Wine Application Database, mapped them to numbers (Garbage -> 1, Bronze -> 2, Silver -> 3, Gold -> 4, Platinum -> 5) and plotted a monthly average.

    The left axis is total number of ratings of each type (Garbage, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) in a given month (not per app). For example for month 2016-07 there were

      "Garbage" => 22
      "Bronze" => 14
      "Silver" => 13
      "Gold" => 55
      "Platinum" => 61
    

    On right side is the average rating. So if I assign values to each rating:

      "Garbage" => 1
      "Bronze" => 2
      "Silver" => 3
      "Gold" => 4
      "Platinum" => 5
    

    I can get an average rating, which will be between 1 to 5.

    ((22*1) + (14*2) + (13*3) + (55*4) + (61*5)) / (22 + 14 + 13 + 55 + 61)
     ~=  3.721
