In video games they commonly use that to mean they are multiplying by 25. We know it’s not correct in stats.

Biggest lie in gaming was how the formula for Armor Piercing rounds in Fallout 1 and 2 was bad, so instead of being stronger than regular rounds, they were weaker.

Games use x25% or x25? Technically the first divides the score by 4.

  We are aware of what it actually does mathematically. Please re-read what I wrote.

    I was asking for clarification. Do many games really add the % to x25?

    Yes. Any kind of Diablo game does it a lot. Shows everything as a percentage, but some items are just adding that number (not a percentage) or multiplying the number (also not a percentage). It’s like they just treat the % as meaning “alters number in mysterious ways.”
