All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

Every time they predict the flop "next year or beyond", the game lives another year, so as long they keep giving SC this award it's a good sign
Only doubt is how many "flop next year" awards from such a prestigious website will SC get until it releases, hmm
This unpleasant category can encompass fringe MMOs as well as unlaunched games, and remember that “flop” can mean lots of things, from outright sunset to financial ruin to simply not living up to insane hype. And we don’t actually want anything to flop!
I'm serious. Reading the editor's comments, they actually seem to think or are going by the assumption (one editor's own words) that SC will come out this year, and they actually thought the same last year etc, which is why they keep voting for it. COME ON, GUYS. At this rate SC fans would be lucky to get SQ42 within 2 or 3 years and then there'd still be a lot more left to go before Star Citizen comes out.
"Probably Star Citizen, but that’s assuming it gets released in 2018."
Yea, um... no, it won't. That's something both haters and fanboys should be agreeing on.
"But yeah, Star Citizen isn’t going to implode, just disappoint, flop in a No Man’s Sky kind of way. "
This statement implies he's making his vote based on Star Citizen being released, and the vote is for 2018 flop. Star Citizen is not going to be released in 2018 to flop during that year.
" I put Star Citizen here first because let’s be real here, the same things I said about this title last year apply this year, and thus it’s less “this game deserves to win” and more “enjoy this lifetime achievement award for not actually releasing while driving expectations up even further.” This year did seem to show some pretty big cracks in the facade, but nothing has actually changed. So let’s instead talk about Ashes of Creation, "
Finally, someone who gets it. But he's still implying that the voting is supposed to be done for games that will RELEASE in 2018 (which is why he decides to talk about AoC instead. ...not that it's going to be released in 2018 either) yet still voting for Star Citizen anyways
"Everything that is owned or partially owned by Disney. "
Too late, Marvel Heroes already shut down and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite whatever was already released.
"I vote for Star Citizen simply because of the weight of expectation that surrounds the title,"
For the weight of expectation to bring down the title, it has to actually get released first.
MassivelyOP guys guys guys, it's obvious you're going by the definition of "flop" as "gets released, but fails badly when it does." If you're voting on "games that will flop in 2018" or "games in development during 2018 that will flop in the future once they ever get released", you really need to clarify which is the one that's up for vote.
it is too profitable right now as is for them to consider anything but remaining Alpha.
I figure this end result will make Chris look real bad,tons of criticism,so he is going to ride this for as much money as he can soak up and then ride off into the sunset .
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Every month there is a new ship concept which raise another $1M, combine that with gamescom presentation sale, citizencon sale and the anniversary sale its impossible for them to run out of money.
One guy accusing Derek Smart of riling up the goons so that they can skew the vote for SC is pure gold.
or the one who thinks that the eve fanbase feels threatened by SC.
