Yeah, as I said, unless there are some secret fan clubs around here for some of those PC exclusives, there are extremely slim chances that any of them will be even close to winning.

As for Minecraft - honestly, I'd take Souls anytime over it, but being the best-selling game of all time (by a quite a wide margin), Minecraft is almost in a league on its own, anyway you look at it.

True, Candy Crush has even more monthly active players though.

Did Minecraft have impact on game design at all? There are some Minecraft clones yet building with blocks hasn't really made any impact on game design like Souls games have. Minecraft had a far bigger impact outside of gaming, the merchandise is everywhere. In our house as well lol, Minecraft lego sets, foam swords, bed spreads, pillow cases, clothes, posters, books. Minecraft rivals the Mario merchandise.

Minecraft is like a doodle pad, as a game it's not very good. I played it both in survival mode (meh) and sandbox mode. The latter is the way. So even though it's huge, it's hard to call it Game of the year.

Yep it's in a league of its own, not quite a game, Video Toy of the Century!
