Related to a post I made last year, but a little different because (1) you get to choose 10 now instead of 5, and (2) other games don’t get deleted, you just aren’t able to play them, so you don’t need to think about the good of humanity or anything, purely just selfish picks because it only impacts you.

A couple notes:

  • Any equipment necessary to play the games, you’re obviously allowed to have
  • You can play any DLC for the games you choose
  • You’re not allowed to make any games for you to play. If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
  • Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though
  • If there was historically a trilogy, for example, that now is sold on a major storefront (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation) as a single game (such as Mass Effect or Hitman) that counts as one game now. Game bundles, though, do not count. Basically, if it’s in one entry in your steam/xbox/ps library, it’s one game

I’m interested to see what this community chooses, and hopefully it’s different enough from my old post to warrant some good discussion here.

    In no particular order:

    • Kerbal Space Program
    • Factorio
    • Rimworld
    • Valheim
    • Minecraft (Java)
    • Ark SE

    Those are my main games and easy for me to pick.

    The last 4 slots are tougher. They’re likely to change the longer I think about it.

    • Some version of Civilization. I’m not sure which I’d prefer.
    • Something technical. Shenzen IO, Human Resource Machine, MHRD, etc
    • EverQuest. If a live service MMO isn’t allowed, I could arguably run a private, emulated server using the EQ emu project.
    • If I can pick a sold-as-one collection that I bought years ago but is no longer available for purchase, it would probably be a collection of Infocom text adventure games.
