I'm glad someone made this topic cuz I think THIS GOTW is strange.
A game rated at 40 % is the first, the second is a (awful) clone of another game and has 50 %.
The last one has 89 %.
I think we really should start making a GOTM instead.

GOTM is a good idea, as it will highlight the absolute best game released that month. The only thing I can think of is that a lot of very good games might get the shaft a bit. Imagine 20 awesome games vs 1 Eternal Daughter or Spirit Engine, for example. Not like this can't happen in the normal GOTW format, but it'd be amplified a lot if you could only showcase a single game that month. I suppose from the outside looking in, the quality of the list would be much higher. But as an insider, none of my games would win, lol! Oh well, the month's pick is probably still the best idea, overall.

How about a GOTW-system with thumbs up, and at the end of each month, all games with good thumbs up/down-ratio can compete in GOTM?
I understand what you mean when you say that good games will outcompete each other. But now it's trading quality for safety or something. If people are so afraid to release their games the "wrong" month, perhaps you could make it so that three games get mentioned? A GOTM-picture for #1 and a notice for #2 and #3. Not that I think we should put any more workload onto the admins.
I think though, with GOTM, you get something people will actually fight for! Today, with some luck, any crap game can become GOTW. So what's the honor in earning that title if anyone can get it?
