It’s the problem when you have public voting on these, the ones more people know about are the ones that rise up. If it’s panel selected then it’s (almost always) rigged by whoever is giving the award to show off their game instead of the actual good one.

I mean look at the Steam awards, Liars Bar won “Most Innovative Gameplay”. Liars Bar, the game that is literally bluffing cards and dice, a game that has been around for literal centuries, “most innovative”

I also have like 150 hours in PlanetSide 2. But it’s because I left it running one day on accident and it counted all the extra hours as “playing”

I would highly recommend Payday 2, forget the DLC unless you really like it, but the game is amazing, one of the best horde shooters around imho. Payday 3 is a really pale comparison because it came out and pretty much the entire audience went to it and went “this sucks” then went right back to payday 2 because it’s just that much better.

I’ve always said I’ll play eve if there’s an afterlife. The idea is fascinating to me but I ain’t got that kind of time

Obviously you just mandate your game and console be always online and at that point you may as well just live stream the game to their house, don’t need to download if you never actually own it right?? Make them pay per the minute of game time and only unlock the next level after they’ve played long enough! Hell! Why even sell a game?? Just have people pay you for the right to advertise that they paid for it and charge them a daily subscription to keep the rights! Nobody owns anything but you! Art and entertainment is merely a vessel to siphon money from the masses! Purchase their souls for a hit of dopamine! Rent them their own eyes!
