The fact that there are ZERO votes for any of the middle options makes me oddly happy.

If the variety and vehemence of all these replies isn't a recommendation, I don't know what is.

Keep an open mind, play it, get into it, build up your own opinion of it. This is a game that's worth investigating even if it turns out you hate it.

So, the biggest names in gaming saw the great news about Notch and Tim talking about Psychonauts and said "what could we possibly do that would be the most fucking opposite bullshit downright anti-gaming spirit asshole-ish thing we could milk?".

• It has a payment model (such as microtransactions)

 If a game meets any one of those, we allow it. I'm sure the list of criteria can be expanded upon & refined too. "

I don't think he is one, but I think he wants to be one.  He's visibly angered if Shepherd destroys the technology to create human-Reaper hybrids.  His agenda is to accelerate humanity's evolution, and fusing humans with Collector/Reaper tech is one way to do that.
