The nomination had to be reworded to fit into the topic title. Original wording: If Valve would release Steam sales numbers, it would end the "PC gaming is dying" debate.
I would like to apologize to the people that follow these topics. Lately, I have been extremely busy, mostly at school and getting ready for it. Hopefully things have calmed down, and I hope I can be more consistent with these topics. If not, I hope you can understand.
This AoD is brought to you by SSpectre, DomaDragoon, Ulti, LMS, and Ultima.
984 Results: 1994 was the best year of gaming in the '90s. Agree: 8 Disagree: 38
My view: People will always say that PC gaming is dying. In fact, the new thing is that people are saying that the PC in general (never mind gaming) is dying to smartphones and tablet computers like the iPad. Also, PC gaming has apparently been dying since the 80s. So...disagree.
Rules: 1. Nominations must be open to debate. Use words like best, worst, or a variant thereof sparingly. 2. You are allowed to just agree or disagree without discussing the topic, but discussion of said topic is not only welcomed, it's allowed. 3. No alts, no flaming, no rallying, and no trolling. 4. You can nominate up to three different nominations every day. You cannot use them on one twice/three times in one day, and you can only nominate something once. 4a. You can also denominate a potential topic at any of the nomination levels. Denominations use up two regular nominations however, and afterword you can only nominate one item. Also, if you are denoming an item at five, please give a reason as to why. And no, "it is bad" won't work. If the item is denommed at 5, it must be renommed within 3 AoD topics or it will lose its scheduled date. 5. In long posts (IE: over a paragraph) Please bold/do something to your vote so I can pick it out.
Remember: that I can (and will) remove anything I deem worthless, useless, pointless, stupid, or too silly.

I would like all of my current nominations to be COMPLETELY removed from the queue if possible, please.
Unfortunately, I could only do this with two nominations. The rest of the nominations had someone else nominating them as well. Although I can cancel your nominations, I can't cancel nominations from other people unless they ask for it. Additionally, nominations that do not have a name attached to them cannot be removed, because I have no record of who nominated what. Those nominations happened before I began to keep track of such things.
These nominations have been removed: Resident Evil 4 was the best GameCube game. The StarCraft series did not deserve to get to the finals in G4's contest.
These nominations remain, unless the other nominators choose to cancel them:
Five Some poor selling games should get sequels (Nom: crazyisgood, Doma, Ulti, LMS, Ultima) Temple of Doom > Raiders of the Lost Ark (Nom: DomaDragoon, Ulti, LMS) Super Mario Kart is the best Mario Kart. (Nom: LMS, DYL, Ulti, Kazbar, 521) Chrono Trigger > any Final Fantasy (Nom: LMS, Ulti, Ultima, Natwaf)
Four Samus' personality in Other M is underrated. (Nom: Ulti, LMS)
Three 2007 was one of the best years of gaming ever. (Nom: LMS, Doma, Ulti) GameFAQs has horrible taste in games. (Nom: LMS, Ultima, Doma) The advent of home consoles was the greatest milestone in the gaming industry. (Nom: LMS, Doma, Ulti)
Two Wii > N64 (Nom: speedpunk, LMS, Ulti, OctilIery, Evillordexdeath, paerarru) (Denom: VeryInsane, GenesisSaga, My Immortal, Palmer, GMUN, Leonhart, FFDragon, Kazbar) Melee is the best Smash Bros. game. (Nom: LMS, 521) GameCube > N64 (Nom: LMS, speedpunk) Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger should've been more commercially successful than they actually were. (Nom: LMS, Ulti) The Metroid series is going to go dormant for a good while again. (Nom: LMS, Doma)
At best, I can reduce each of these nominations by one, again unless the other people choose to cancel their nominations. Let me know if you want me to do that.

Disagree. Though Valve should release Steam sales numbers anyway.
Nom: Soft pretzels > hard pretzels (Nom: Kazbar, Ulti) You would buy a new Pokemon Trading Card game if it was released for the DS or 3DS. You would still cheer for your favorite player if he was traded to your least favorite team.

D. We all know the people who have been heralding every single year as the end of PC gaming forever despite things being fricken fine can't be shut up. Certainly not with facts.
What numbers are out there already? I've never seen anything except for the occasional company trying to guilt pirates with either "we can't make money anymore maybe we won't make games" or "we're being forced onto consoles because there's no money on PCs." I haven't seen any hard stuff.
Disregard that. I edit my AoD posts in the convenient Quick Post box before I make the real topic, and accidentally hit post without preview. This AoD is closed. New AoD in a few minutes.
