A website to help connect roleplayers and let them play over the internet.
Tries to be everything-in-one, and includes a tabletop engine that’s not too bad. Definitely needs improvements to everything everywhere, but it’s all good enough.
I started using it to play AD&D 5e

A top-down shooter game which uses music to generate levels.
Absolutely fantastic! HOWEVER progress is not auto-saved! Who the fuck makes a game where you can abandon everything you’ve played just by pressing a button too many times?!
Abandoned; the website is gone.

I’m not sure how to describe this game. It’s an oldschool oldschool point-and-click game.
I think I would have liked this back in the day, but these days I find a bunch of the mechanics and gameplay too frustrating to deal with.
DO NOT BUY. DO NOT TRY.

Explore, survive, gather and trade while making your way to the galactic core.
Every single described goal of this game has failed. It is a bad flight-simulator, with bad crafting, bad technology, and bad survival mechanics. It is set on procedurally generated planets so vast that nothing matters, in a procedurally-generated universe so vast that nothing matters. What’s worse is that it is so godawfully crowded with hand-holding that it becomes both easy and repetitive. Being ugly and with abysmal performance, it’s not even an exploration time-waster.
Perhaps in some years they will change/fix many of its issues, but I believe it has a fundamental casualness to it that anchors its core gameplay problems. This is not a game made for gamers.
2017-05-07 update: I tried it again, and it just isn’t worth it. If its graphics were the same as before (they’re busted now) then maybe. I have another video card but I’m not going to swap things around or fiddle with installing an old version of my card’s drivers. I just don’t want to bother any more.

Shoot stuff and things.
I played the open beta. I found it fun, but not worth money. When I was given it for free a while later, I didn’t find it all that great.
Overwatch 2 – While it has PvE to some degree, the full talent trees and upgrades concept will not be implemented. (source)

Open-world exploration.
It’s like an even crappier-graphics Minecraft, only with nothing to do. At first I thought it was quirky and interesting, but for some reason I got lifted in the air and after a long, long, while the game ended. I redid things, and this happened the second time too.

A video broadcasting service. It’s generally used for live-streaming gameplay.
The concept of twitch or other video streaming services confused me until I thought a bit more. See Why would live streaming be popular?

A top-down action fighting semi-roleplaying game.
I played quite a bit of it until early 2015. Spiral Knights is an exceptional game, but unfortunately as of the last time I played it, it lacks balance and so it lacks variety.
This is an exception to Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.

A zombie-survival first person shooter that I played the hell out of until late-2015. It still had a very active player base.

A 2.5D hack-and-slash combat-roleplaying game.
I played a bit of this a while back, maybe early/mid-2015. I liked it, but I moved on to other things.
