Does our knowledge of a thing preclude it from being? Is reality subjective or objective? If Bill Smithers of 34 Poplar Way in Schenectady, NY (sorry, Bill) said Ms. Pac-Man was the GOAT of video games make it true because he said it before his passing in 2011 after playing a 49 hour raiding session in World of Warcraft?
more slop than innovative, its just the numbnuts keep buying the current pokemon slop games is whats keep switch justified in thier sloppy gaming development.
Really? They’ve been mostly misses from what I can tell. They don’t review very well or sell many copies for most of their games. Recent reporting indicates that Tencent no longer wants to finance them, and their future is shaky.
Seriously? I’m only about halfway through the Life is Strange series, but it’s been fantastic so far and Lost Records just came out last year and looks amazing. To each his own, but I hope they are able to crowdfund or some other alternative if Tencent drops them.
It does not. “Greatest of all time back in the day” does not imply it’s still the greatest. By your logic the future is also a time. As we don’t know it yet, nothing can ever be the greatest of all time, making the term meaningless.
Again, if something was the greatest of all time, it does not mean it still has to be. Otherwise the term is meaningless as even greater things might come in the future.
If you only take it in the most literal sense, sure. A pointless exercise, don’t you think? Sometimes words have a funny way of meaning more than one thing. For most this concept works and GOAT can be meaningful. No, I’m not talking about the animal. Just to be clear.
It obviously means the greatest of all time so far because at the time you make the statement you cannot judge what hasn’t happened yet.
It gets more complicated when you’re saying it about a company or game in the past but I still think that it has meaning. It could mean that at the time, they were the greatest of all time (up until that point in time) but it could also mean that at this point in time that past version of EA was the greatest of all time (up until now, which is beyond the time that that version of EA existed).
Greatest Offering Around Then?
Because “greatest of all time” implies it’s also great now… which is a time.
We can’t know what’s going to be the greatest of all time in the future, only what’s the greatest of all time so far.

Who’s got that award?
Very hot take but maybe Nintendo? I know, I know. They suck in some regards. But some of their games are still innovative.
Fun take but considering how they treat their fans I wouldn’t give them that award.

A game developer with a consistently high hit rate in their output? Kojima, maybe? FromSoft? We’ve seen a lot of empires fall in recent years.
I’d add Don’t Nod, at least from what I’ve seen.

“All time.”
So the term is meaningless for you? That’s fine.

Your definition in your own words defines it as meaningless.

GOAT = Greatest of All Time, right?
Why not just say “great?”
Makes “of all time” meaningless if you overuse it.
Allow me to invoke Eddie Izzard… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rYT0YvQ3hs
Oh, I agree with you. It has been overused and I’m not a fan. Maybe the most overused acronym of all time?
I guess I was annoyed by you being pedantic resulting in me… being pedantic. Tragic, really.
Thanks for the sketch. I enjoyed it. It was awesome but more in the hot dog kind of way.
It’s one of my favorite comedy specials. “Dress to Kill.” Also, his special “Circles” was great.
It’s only meaningless if you’re pedantic.
