But saying that I don't see the issue, it's vote for your own favorite and as the massivelyop staff state it's just for fun.
Although surely it should only count released games for it to be favorite of the year???
Much ado about absolutely nothing.
Edit: Yep, I was right.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, do they even stop to think about how crazy that sounds?

in the end it's the individual that chooses which game to select their vote for

EDIT: the "Vote for CoE" thread was created by a member, not a dev
- These contests are supposed to be for the site's community. It's kind of like stuffing a bus full of people and driving to a polling station in another area to vote in an election. I think the simple solution is to require an account to vote (I think they may?) and only allow accounts created prior to the day of the poll to vote.
- How can something be the best indie game when it isn't a game yet? This isn't unique to CoE as many (maybe most?) of those games are not released, but I mean.. nobody except maybe a few dozen people have even played any bit of CoE. It's not even in real Alpha yet. So again I would put them down for "Most hoped for" or something like that... but best game of 2017? Huh?
As I said, I thought the whole conspiracy theory part (MOP was switching votes from CoE to DU) was more humorous.All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

i'd agree with the stuffing the bus full of people analogy - but i put the onus of that on the gaming site that creates the poll, rather than on any studio (and/or its community) for responding to it
having only members who joined BEFORE the poll vote is something i fully agree with also
also agree it should be in a category of "game in development you are currently most hyped about" - because in the end that's all the poll shows
it would help prevent the whole meta that we see taking place on a number of gaming sites and the resulting skewing of the results
i was more amused at folks here jumping on it in the manner they did lol
You're a much better representative of the CoE community than your predecessors on here

Sadly there is no :All the above option so I am torn. Leaning CoE but so many to pick from...

i'm secure in my reasons for why i backed CoE substantially, and realize that what for me might be valid reasons might be totally ridiculous reasons for others - i'm good with that - it's my money i made decision about, not theirs
so for me having non-toxic but disagreeing discussions will either not change my opinion, reinforce it, or start to question it
many folks seemingly can't discuss opposing opinions regarding religion, politics, which game they support etc in a healthy manner because they take it as a personal attack
I might read articles and soak up what is spewed out,doesn't mean i believe any of it or really care.
I know how games are made,i know every last inch,i also know what i am looking at,so why would i care what someone else thinks?
COE is simply a game that like MOST in last couple years ,bursts onto the scene via marketing and vies to get people to give them free money.Then like many if not enough money rolling in,stoop to lower standards and start the p2w phase.
IMO NONE ,not one single game using cash shops should be supported,they are crooked scum trying to bait and lure people in trying to grab UNFAIR/UNJUST amounts of money.They pray on stupidity and the naive.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Will MMORPG do the same for their Reader's Choice awards this year?
Hmm?
(This thread was actually a trap, I only went to MOP to confirm they offered such a choice. Thanks for walking right in.)

I don't really care about the voting itself, but how could it be "Best Indie Game of the Year"? As far as I know, it hasn't been released this year, so it couldn't be the best of the year, and it's not playable yet, so it's not a game... so... "Best Indie ____ of the ____".
EDIT - Best Indie Preorder of the Decade?
