A lot of old staples showing up again this year––perhaps you could say the survey likes beating dead horses––with quite a number of new titles in the top 25 too. General demographics are very consistent with previous years this time:

For fun this year we asked about preferences regarding the gender of a game’s protagonist and its love interests!
