Oh, I don't mind an indie game winning if it deserves it.  Some indies are great.  But that isn't what happened in that particular thread.  Earthlock only won because the whole game devolved into fan wars between all the big titles.

Exactly! It was either X Vs FFXV, Halo 5 Vs Uncharted 4, etc.... Good times!

 

Yeah.  The warring exclusives I can kind of understand, but what surprised me was that the same thing happened to the multiplats.  Even individual genres started to self-destruct by competing amongst themselves.  I remember games like The Witcher and DA: Inquisition squaring off and downvoting each other to elimination.  In fact, I seem to recall someone making the point that whenever any two games locked horns, that was it - they were both doomed.
