While reading the January 2016 issue of
GameInformer, I stumbled on its Top 50 Games of 2015. As I skimmed
the list, I found I hadn't played many games released in 2015...
which made me realize I've become one of those old people who "don't
have time for video games anymore".
Once I shook that ugly realization, it
was evident that most games listed were sequels, collections,
remakes, reboots, re-releases, etc. Which wouldn't be a problem if
there wasn't an increasing trend of re-purposed content over the past
few years. With great concern for the future state of video games,
most of which I probably won't play, I put on my miner's hat to dive
head first into the data of Wikipedia's video games releases in 2016.
Please excuse the click bait but the results may shock you!
