dammit, Disco Elysim! I’d be so sad if that was gone

- Garry’s Mod
- Starcraft
- Team Fortress 2
- Minecraft
- Skyrim
that’s already five - which one of these shouldn’t be saved?
maybe Age of Empires 2, Stellaris, or Civ V instead of Starcraft?
maybe Oblivion, Morrowind, or Fallout 3 instead of Skyrim?
maybe Terraria, Stardew Valley, or Factorio instead of Minecraft?
maybe Counter-Strike, Half-Life 2, or Insurgency instead of Team Fortress 2?
This is an awful choice, a committee would have to decide this …
we’re really going to let all these games die?
not to mention gems like Stanley’s Parable, Disco Elysium, and Beginner’s Guide …
this question is evil, and I hate everyone’s answers.

right!? it’s a terrible question, I wouldn’t want to choose, and I would hate whatever anyone came up with
(I hate what I came up with!)

If the whole world was on Garry’s mod the content would be insane

which makes me think you could use Garry’s Mod to recreate TF2, so maybe that would open up a slot …
maybe the committee would actually look to preserve game engines first and foremost, and then count on recreating other games from that
if I had to pick I would at least try to preserve Source, Unity, and Unreal … HPL Engine (Amnesia, Soma, etc.) is pretty unique, but it might not have enough cultural relevance - depends on whether we are prioritizing diversity in our top 5 picks, or just going based on commercial success & popularity …
