Hi Every_Player! Thanks, Alexim! I will Sith here and vote too.
One scroll down and up per category is a very helpful lust... I mean, list.

Games that are *unofficially* confirmed for release on GOG in the future part 3



Having spent more than 400 hours playing it and many months of 2023, I couldn't help but vote for Yakuza 0!

If you still need to vote you have until midnight today (you can rely on your time zone).

I had thought about increasing the categories, but with the current number of votes I think it would be difficult to elect a winner for more specific and niche categories, we'll see next year!

You should choose if possible a specific game!

For those who voted for more than one game in a category, I had to count the first game mentioned.

+1. Thanks Alex!

The time has finally come to announce the winners of the GOG GOTY 2023!

Our trusted GOGbear will announce the winner of the main category, but first let's see which threads attracted the most favor from the community!


Best Thread of the Year 2023:

Two threads in particular received a lot of votes, and we're talking about "Doc's Intergalactic Clown School" by the stainless Doc0075 and "Voyage of The Cursed Crew" by bjgamer, a sign that receiving free games while having fun is always much appreciated! And who could possibly object? We hope to read the sequel to both collective stories soon!

The winner, by one vote, is "Voyage of The Cursed Crew"! Congratulations bjgamer!

Best Ongoing Thread created before 2023:

For the threads that have been with us on the forum for more than a year instead, we find many classics that shouldn't be missing from a true GOGger's favorites, but coming out on top this year was undoubtedly "Games that are *unofficially* confirmed for release on GOG in the future part 3" by SLP2000, congratulations!

We all love to know if the game we've been waiting for years will finally come to GOG, but now let's all thank Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA, Capcom and all the other big publishers who release absolutely nothing on GOG, it's because of them that our wallets are fuller!

GOG GOTY 2023:

To the surprise of probably no one, Baldur's Gate 3 also wins the prestigious GOG GOTY 2023! The game needs no introduction, it has won countless awards around the world and has been unanimously praised by press and gamers alike.
It has everything you could want: action, drama, hard choices, romance, sex, vampires, endless dialogue, violence, zoophilia; in short, the typical family entertainment that has made it an incredible success!

But this year's releases on GOG have been particularly rich and interesting, so close behind we find titles such as Shadow Gambit, System Shock, Yakuza 0, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, all definitely worth playing!
