You mean the game that forced companies to take it from their stores? Weird choice for GOTY…

It didn't become goty until like three years after it released, lmao.

And it’s not gonna beat ER, even if it was in its current state at release.

On the Playstation store, yes. On PC it was mostly fine, if a bit buggy because it was released too early (as so many games are unfortunately). But I and many other people enjoyed it just fine at launch, and it has gotten better and better every year since then. It's still getting new content and patches 5 years after launch, and the modding scene is absolutely crazy right now, so many good stuff being released.

So your defense is that companies cared more about money than providing a good product?

It wasn’t released early, it was released in a broken state and completely unfinished state, they were missing promised content, and bare minimum standards to make it an rpg.

It’s crazy that people are defending the worst game release EVER as being goty, lmfao give your head a shake.
