Someone is gonna come in here and say something snarking indicating the opposite, so I'll just state for the record what the silent majority thinks of it.
Looking at that list, everything makes sense as 10th place. Split between games which might make it to the number one spot on some top-tens, but the GB guys just didn't play enough of or like quite as much as the general populace and games which were extremely popular with a niche segment of the gaming community, but which was more or less universally praised by anyone who put time into them, which included one or two people on staff. Not enough to go higher, but enough to just make the cut.
See, in the context of games like Stardew valley and Rogue Legacy, Dream Daddy totally fits in the column of "loved by people who really liked it, but not everyone played it'.
Which is a shame. Cause I feel like some games (Stardew valley) are the sort that if every single person on staff was forced to put 50+ hours into it..would have hit a higher number. (Same with the witcher 3). But those games at #10 fit given how much they were played by GB staff, or how much one or two people who did play them loved them while no one else had anything/enough bad to say about them.
So yah, Dream Daddy in the larger context fits perfectly as a #10 on GB list. There, my best defense against what has increasingly just become an excuse by people in the GB community to rag on certain staff members for, at best, shady reasons.
