    We can’t know what’s going to be the greatest of all time in the future, only what’s the greatest of all time so far.

      Does our knowledge of a thing preclude it from being? Is reality subjective or objective? If Bill Smithers of 34 Poplar Way in Schenectady, NY (sorry, Bill) said Ms. Pac-Man was the GOAT of video games make it true because he said it before his passing in 2011 after playing a 49 hour raiding session in World of Warcraft?

        Very hot take but maybe Nintendo? I know, I know. They suck in some regards. But some of their games are still innovative.

          Fun take but considering how they treat their fans I wouldn’t give them that award.

        A game developer with a consistently high hit rate in their output? Kojima, maybe? FromSoft? We’ve seen a lot of empires fall in recent years.

          I’d add Don’t Nod, at least from what I’ve seen.

            Really? They’ve been mostly misses from what I can tell. They don’t review very well or sell many copies for most of their games. Recent reporting indicates that Tencent no longer wants to finance them, and their future is shaky.
