If we do run a guild, it would be a super serious thing, just to get Linux gamers together to play and have fun.

Quoting: CookieMonsterZA@Keyrock

I played a bit during the stress test last week and what I saw so far is that not all areas are PVP.
I stayed in the PVE zones during the test and still had an enjoyable experience.

Now I'm just waiting for the closed beta :D

Oh, it has combat restricted zones? Neat, it doesn't mention it anywhere on the site.

Quoting: FredOOne question though, what about games that were released in 2014, between the last GOTY awards and the end of the year - are they included this year?

^^^^
This !

To keep it simple, this is for 2015 releases only.

Quoting: TheBossI believe it is PvP anywhere, as that's part of the point of territories and having to defend them.

I get that, but I'm with Keyrock on this one. Still, if there's enough PvE stuff to do, and it's free, why not give it a swing?

They do sound like their very ambitious though, when they say things like 'endless flexibility'. I'm quite sure it will end up with just a few cookie-cutter builds.

I meant it more as in, there's more to the game than combat. You can forge weapons and armour and setup shop, build your home etc.

I won't be including "DRM free" category, I will say that now. The reason being, it's so broad it is pointless. Anything in that category would already be covered by others.

Quoting: adolsonI am not familiar with this YouTuber's body of work

"youtubers"... :-D
Do yourself a favour and trust them like you trust advertisement pamphlets or "bloggers".
They are amateurs trying to grab a piece of the media landscape, and do all the errors and mistakes that uneducated people do. Especially when there's money involved.

TotalBiscuit is probably one of the best known game Youtubers, surprised you haven't heard of him.

Quoting: EikeJust to clarify: "Released in 2015" means "released on Linux in 2015", right? So, like, Shadow of Mordor qualifies.
I found it hard last time to select from that many games, so I would welcome like having three choices. Have three weighted choices, like, 1, 2 and 3 points would be nice if possible.

Yes, games released on our platform in 2015, this is not a generic goty awards. It's specifically for our games.

Weighted choices would be nice, but it depends how annoying to implement it would be especially if someone wanted to change their vote. I suppose a way to do it, is store the weight of the vote with each vote to check against, or I could just not let people change their mind, which is easier.
