I thought Alex got screwed here. I don't see any universe in which Brad's "arguments" made sense or were good rationale. Trying to throw Alex off by saying that he should let Destiny on the list because he got what he wants is just shallow and pathetic. It's like saying, "I can't combat your points, but you already won some so let me win one!" like a child.
Alex said it best when he said that they shouldn't reward Destiny for being on that list. Only two people played Destiny and vouched for it (Brad and Jeff), and only one of those actually said they liked it (Brad). When Brad himself admits that the game is faulty, that should have been the end of it. How do you say "This game is bad, but I love it so it is one of the best of the year!" and be taken seriously? When 6 of 8 either didn't play it or didn't like it, how is it possibly fair to include it because one person loved it? Especially when the game had no real impact on gaming as a whole. Dota at least had a major impact on gaming. Destiny was regarded as a disappointment by everyone and didn't really affect anything. No developers are canceling their games because they can't get Destiny's market share, like they are in the MOBA scene because of Dota.
Alex should've stopped talking against Destiny and start arguing for something else to get on instead. He couldn't because he didn't care about the other games of the year the way Brad cared about Destiny. Too bad
