In a few years when people look back, I think the lasting memories of the XBLIG service will be the Minecraft clones, crappy avatar games, and the use of busty cartoon women in marketing. But you made a key point that if going forward there's a filter for quality, I think/hope a lot of the issues with repetition would go away. Anyway, something (even the current system) would be better than nothing.
