MMORPG.com Players' Choice Awards 2023 - VOTE NOW!

mmorpg.com:

It's that time of year again: Awards season in the games industry. While we'll have Geoff Keighley's World Premiere extravaganza (with some Game Awards) next week to nom on, MMORPG.com's Players' Choice Awards voting is live starting today, so come and vote for who you think was the best of the year.

This year has been one of the best years for games themselves in recent memory, with massive titles like Baldur's Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and more launching. It's also been one of the worst for those who make the games, with record numbers of developers affected by layoffs in an industry that seems content to churn through talent faster than it can be replaced. 

While we've seen some stellar releases this year, it's also been a difficult year for PC ports, with so many launching in pitiful states. Many of the Crowdfunded MMOs we've followed for so long also feel nowhere closer to launch, with some games like Pantheon seemingly shooting themselves in the foot with spin-off ideas that didn't quite capture the imagination of their community. 

We also saw quite a few MMO expansions launch this year, from Guild Wars 2's Secrets of the Obscure, the recently launched The Lord of the Rings Online: Corsairs of Umbar, New World: Rise of the Angry Earth, and more (EVE Online even launched two in a calendar year). We also saw the Cozy MMO and other adjacent games come into their own a bit, with Singularity6's Palia getting off to a decent, if not somewhat rocky, start. 

As always, we've detailed the best (and also worst) in the industry of MMOs and RPGs for you, the reader, to vote on. This year is a little different: we've got a metric ton of games in our Most Anticipated category because we could not whittle it
