I'm assuming you made a transcription error with the equation.

max(1, num_ratings / median_num_ratings)

This would result in 1 if num_ratings <= median_num_ratings, and >1 if num_ratings > median_num_ratings. I'm assuming you meant "min" here, as that would match the description of the function.

Also side note: I feel like the median was possibly influenced by "invalid" submissions. I encountered a number of submissions that were not playable (at least on Windows or Browser, as the rules require), meaning they inherently got less ratings. I wonder how much this would have influenced the resulting median.

Good catch, thanks, it was a mistake made when typing up the post. I've updated the original post.

For things that were truly broken, I disqualified those (about 37 submissions). They will not affect the median. Although it's difficult get every broken submission, the (relatively) small amount of disqualifications suggests that the median probably wanted influenced too much.
