Cavalary: I'm wondering about the genre categories, why pick specifically those? And including that quite specific boomer shooter category but no best RPG, best platformer or, considering the sheer number of them, best roguelike?
Also wonder if the early access titles shouldn't be put separately. You listed those that left EA this year separately and maybe that should be a voting category on its own, and the same would go for those launched as EA.
And that 7-year threshold for old game still strikes me as odd. And, either way, there may be room for a best classic (pre-2000)?
On another note, this made me think of the possibility of a best game delisted in 2024 vote too.
But all of these would be more work for you and the endeavor looks daunting as it is.
You're right, Best RPG has to be there since on GOG it's a genre that's going strong, but I'll probably replace it with the Action Game category, I'd like to keep a total of 8 categories at least for this year and see how it goes with voting.
As for games that are launched in or coming out of EA, it seems like it's the norm to consider the year they come out in full form, but I also don't think it's fair to exclude any games that can already be played, so I'm going to keep them all together and let the best one win.
Just a little longer and the voting links will be up!
