Hello everybody! It's Thanksgiving season in the US, which means it's time to gather with friends and family and focus solely on giving thanks to video games. We have a tradition here at MinnMax of getting together with Jeff Cork, Leo Vader, Ben Hanson, and Jeff Marchiafava to share as many jokes as humanly possible about gaming this year. We'll be gathering in the MinnMax Studio next week to share our randomly assigned mediocre jokes, and we want to have your jokes included in the mix!

Help us make the joke-a-thon better by submitting jokes of your own. The pressure is off, have you HEARD some of the trash cans we've read in the past? Submit an original joke or two in the comments below about video games in 2025 with the set up "I'm thankful for..." The deadline for your jokes is the evening of Sunday, November 23rd.

We'll pick our 20 favorite and share them in a Twitch stream on Monday night at 7:30pm Central and in a YouTube video and podcast in the bonus podcast feed on Wednesday, November 26th. Similar to last year, we'll have 100 jokes in the public version and then everybody at the $5 tier and above will get the HUGE version of the joke-a-thon.

As always, thanks for directly supporting MinnMax as an outlet and for making us laugh by submitting some great/dumb/mediocre jokes in the comments below!

Here are links to previous years joke-a-thons to give you an example of the format... wow, we've done a lot of these.

Doug Chomicz

Yeeeees! Can’t wait. My favorite time of year. 😻

MyNameIsDan

I'm thankful for Donkey Kong Bonanza. It's so good, I think the current US President should play it. How could he not fall in love with this game given the illustrious gold structures, the ICE-themed layer, and the opportunity to travel with an underage girl.

Luke Neff

I’m thankful for Tarsier Studios, for finally answering my email about Animal!

Krauser

I'm thankful for Star of Providence, Starvaders, Starless Abyss and the DLC for Sea of Stars for reminding me why I should replay Resident Evil 3 soon.

Garrett Kelley

I’m thankful for Ark Raiders for showing me that even my trash is apparently valuable enough for strangers to commit violence over. Honestly, it’s nice to feel wanted.

Alex McMillan

I’m thankful for Microsoft’s marketing department. In a matter of months they managed to change their tagline from “Xbox Game Pass!” to “Xbox Game? Pass.”

Jump On Everything

I'm thankful for Silent hill F, did you know the F stands for Fankful?

Donnie

With all the hardship that game devs have been facing, I’m thankful for one of their leaders stepping up and saying what we’re all thinking: Make FPS great again.

Kraven Morcome

I'm thankful that Microsoft canceled Perfect Dark. All the review bylines would have said "More like Pretty Good Dark" and i don't think i could have handled that.

Neill Smith

"Eternal" Strands? More like "might come up once in April and never again" strands

Stevelution

I’m thankful for Arc Raiders. We don’t have enough games as service using groundbreaking, ethical tools like AI to improve the players experience in a non-cynical way that doesn’t make me want to throw up.

Forest Lassman

I'm thankful for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy for having 100 different endings I can ignore

Jump On Everything

I'm thankful for everything becoming an Xbox, you're next!

John Ford

I'm thankful for Obsidian this year for advancing to the next round of Microsoft's Game Studio Hunger Games! May the Odds Be Ever In Their Favor.

Matthew Hornyak

I’m thankful that Ben Hanson has put more thought into his jokes for give to the max 2025 than Nintendo put into the free roam mode of Mario kart world

Trevor Wermund

I'm thankful for Borderlands 4, I'm sure that game will be fun when my friends buy it for $10

Shane C

I'm thankful for Hollow Knight: Silksong for having bosses so well designed and perfectly balanced that they never feel unfair. That means when I die 50 times in a row, I have no one to blame but myself! Because I'm stupid and dumb and bad at video games!

Chris Fantry

I'm thankful that tariffs and inflation finally helped my backlog of games I've purchased and not played from going more out of control.

Brian W

Im thankful for all the great Indie games taking over this year. It only took studio closures, layoffs, and an industry wide sense of impending doom… but hey, we finally got Silksong!

John Scovic

I'm thankful for Mindseye, because there are so many great games to play this year and no one MINDS if EYE skip that one.

Adam Brungardt

I’m thankful for Call of Duty. As a huge Halo fan, it’s a constant reminder that things can always get much worse.

resnet

I'm thankful for Absolum. Absolum cinema

Nate Voris

I'm thankful for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound because I too am ragebound... ragebound by court order to attend anger management! I'm thankful to Wheel World for being a wheelie good game that I will never tire of *ding ding* (bike bell noise) puns are jokes, right?

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful that CEO of Xbox Phil Spencer can introduce himself in Japanese. Now if he can learn to say “Price hike”, “Game cancelled”, and “studio closed”, he’ll be able to explain Xbox’s complete strategy to the Japanese audience.

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful that Xbox added Fortnite Crew to game pass. Finally, the value proposition makes sense.

mantaguy

I'm thankful that development on the Black Panther game is going smoothly. Hang on, that got canceled? Uh, ok... I'm thankful that development on Monolith's Wonder Woman game is going- Seriously!? That too?! Uh... I'm thankful that development on Perfect Dark is- OH COME ON!!!

Gerry McCray

I’m thankful for the man that sat next to me in a bathhouse in South Korea that only spoke a few sentences to me, including “Play Expedition 33, it’s good.” You were right, it is good!

Palo

I'm thankful for Drag x Drive, you have got to love truth in advertising! It was a *drag* to play and it *drove* my wrists towards carpal tunnel syndrome. Thanks Nintendo!

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful for Microsoft’s web development team. Keeping a game pass cancellation page online is an important public service.

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful that Xbox hasn’t canceled their next gen console plans. I look forward to adding the new machine to my collection of rare antiques. “Look kids, they only made three of these.”

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful for Microsoft copilot’s integration with Xbox. Coming next year: an in-game overlay that gives you completely wrong information. Disable it for twenty bucks a month!

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful that Microsoft raised the price of the Xbox, protecting customers from the risk of owning one. Thanks Microsoft!

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful that Xbox lacked the self awareness to avoid opening and closing a studio called The Initiative. Rumour has it their next studios will be named The Creativity, The Intelligence, and The Sexual Virility.

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful that Xbox President Sarah Bond confirmed Silksong would be available for the ROG Xbox Ally at launch, almost as if it was due out on PC a month beforehand.

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful for Head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty. He sacked nine thousand people this year but boy is “booty” a funny name. Haha, “booty”.

Chris H

I'm thankful that Cyan has continued to update Myst on modern consoles in the year 2025. Now that's a mysterious island we could feel good about the president visiting!

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful for Xbox publishing executive Matt Turnbull’s suggestion that laid off Xbox employees use Copilot to console themselves. There’s now so much training data from former Xbox employees that Copilot is crushing the job loss commiserations benchmark on AI Arena. Learn to tyrannise a larger percentage of your workforce ChatGPT.

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful Matt Booty recognised that Xbox’s biggest competition isn’t another console maker but rather his own failure kink. “Ooo that’s right earnings report, I sacked all of my game developers and doubled the price of dev kits. What are you gonna do about it?”

Charter

I'm thankful for the Nintendo switch 2 for letting Nintendo switch to a console that plays a pokemon game at a reasonable frame rate

Rich McLaughlin

Im thankful for, I’m thankful for so many, I’m thankful for so many good roguelikes this year, sigh — on to the next joke

Rich McLaughlin

I’m thankful for the 2025 in games Wikipedia page for having the rib removal surgery, wait, how does this go?

Mike Sweet

I'm thankful for Expedition 33 getting Square Enix to consider making Final Fantasy games good again!

Gérard Depar-duh

I’m thankful that Xbox released the ROG XBOX ALLY X and the Xbox Meta Quest 3, the first Xboxes that can’t play Xbox games. Coming soon from Xbox: the world’s first gaming controller covered in poison ivy, the world’s first gaming beanbag full of angry bees, and the world’s first gaming company without any players.

CrabPalace

Pirate Yakuza? I'm paying full price!!

Katelin

I’m thankful that Nintendo was so nice enough to give us Animal Crossing players what we have always wanted… another job, at a resort hotel, to support Tom Nook’s insatiable appetite for capitalism.

resnet

I'm thankful for the ROG XBox Ally. The queer community needs all the help they can get in Trump's America

Ben Taylor

They say game design is about tradeoffs. I’m thankful Nintendo made the hard choice to focus on the excellent open world in the new Mario Kart…instead of focusing on matchmaking, track design, and things that are fun to actually play.

Ben Taylor

I’m thankful the Switch 2 launched with so many bangers. I mean, you really *can* play Donkey Kong Bananza 5 times in a row, and feel like it’s 5 different games.

Ben Taylor

I’m thankful that even the simplest game mechanic can bring so many people joy. Like how half the internet thinks Expedition 33 is the obvious game of the year because they actually tried turn-based combat for once.

Ben Taylor

I’m thankful Nintendo charged $10 for Welcome Tour. Just think: if they earn $10 enough times, they might actually be able to make a version of Welcome Tour that’s fun to play.

Thom Blackburn

I'm thankful for Sony making an effort at competing with Gamepass so Microsoft can't price gouge-- 30 effing dollars?!

Xavier Richardson

I'm thankful for expedition 33 "re-inventing the jrpg formula" the same way that Columbus "discovered" america. Doesn't count till white people do it, them's the rules🤷🏿‍♂️

Lamb Dance

"I’m thankful for Baby Steps. A protagonist who’s a shut-in, awkward man baby... I finally know what it’s like to play as one of our listeners!" "I’m thankful for Welcome Tour, because if it didn’t exist, we’d have to make fun of Drag x Drive instead... and that would just be kind of uncomfortable?"

Encubed

I'm thankful for Sandfall Interactive finally giving us a video game title that is both clear AND obscure.

The Sleepy MailMan

I’m thankful for my friends. They’re so thoughtful, they gave me a card for my birthday. Unfortunately, I had to give it back, because it was a Switch 2 GAME-KEY CARD. Long live genuine physical media!

Chandler

I'm thankful we still can't smell our games. Ball X Pit? My two least favorite things to smell And now for a second joke Hitman good. Hit woman bad. Thank you

Encubed

I'm thankful for Dispatch giving us the long awaited Invincible Season 4. Seriously, is it just me or are the art styles and general vibe wayyy too similar? Not even complaining, just an observation

John Connor

I'm thankful for expedition 33, the only game named after the number of game awards it's nominated for.

Encubed

I'm thankful for Clair Obscur teaching me so many new things about France: mimes, baguettes, and quirky little paintbrush rabbids. Who knew?

SnowChicken

I'm thankful to Team Cherry for finally releasing silk song, now we can finally compare it to the other greatest insect themed game: Bugsnax. I'm thankful to Bacon Bits for asking, what if pig was a spice?

SwooshxBear

Omelette du fromage? I thought you said omelette du gommage! *all eggs just disappear*

Tom Brien

I'm thankful that Microsoft made boycotting all their games this year a real breeze!

Tom Brien

I'm thankful for Nintendo Switch 2: Welcome Tour. I often find myself wondering how this console is any different from a Switch 1, and why the hell I blew $450 on buying it. Now I just open this game, and read the new features back to myself to calm down.

Colette

I'm thankful for the former VP of Amazon's Prime Gaming division for going on the record to boldy clear anyone's imposter syndrome in a LinkedIn post.

BEEFCAKE

I'm thankful for EA and Saudi Arabia clearing my backlog of EA games. Now I finally don't feel the need to play Madden 2003.

Tom Brien

I'm thankful for the Xbox Rog X Ally. I wanted a Steam Deck, but I also had a spare $500 that I definitely didn't wanna give to any kind of charity.

AmpleSamuel

I’m thankful that Promise Mascot Agency finally showed the side of yakuza that doesn’t just commit violent crimes, but also sometimes help better their community!

Vilis

I'm thankful that this is the time of year that families can come together and everything goes great, just like Expedition 33! Oh wait... just like Silent Hill f! Wait, no I'll get one... just like The Roottrees are.... y'know what, maybe this year isn't a great example of family togetherness.

sm3dw sm3dw

I'm thankful for the Trails in the Sky remake for making its series more accessible. Now new players can enjoy spending 1000 hours on a storyline that could've been wrapped up in like 80!

gybones

I’m thankful for people’s love of sequels. Kingdom Come: Deliverence 2, Hades 2, Switch 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Hanson baby number 2…reiterating on things never gets old

Hovercow

I'm thankful for Hanson keeping such a tight leash on the parasocial nonsense. That way if we say we love something, it's proof we really mean it. What a funny observation by Hovercow from the MinnMax community. I love that little rascal!

Aging_Poorly

I'm thankful for Silent Hill f. Silent Hill f? More like Silent Hill A-Plus! Kirby Air Riders? Only if you spell it “E-R-R Riders”! I'm thankful that 2025 was a year where the big game companies took lessons from the indies. Everyone was charmed by “A Game About Digging A Hole”, so Nintendo made Donkey Kong Bananza and Microsoft kept putting out tone-deaf press releases. I'm thankful for Split Fiction. That game was so meta. A game about two struggling writers written by two horrifically struggling writers. I'm thankful that for the 16th year in a row, Gamescom was held in Cologne. If only it smelled like it. No one is particularly thankful that the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund announced its intention to buy Electronic Arts. The fund already controls about half of the world’s best golfers, and soon will control about half of the world’s shittiest videogame franchises. (the last line of this should be read in the voice of Mario, in Mario 64, saying “so long gay bowser”/ “so long eh bowser” after launching Bowser into the spiked mines): I'm thankful for the years of excellent work of the President and CEO of Nintendo of America, who is stepping down from his role. We reached out to Mario for comment, who said “so LONG, doug bow-SER!”. (please read in an obnoxious capital-G Gamer voice): “I'm *NOT* thankful for all these people complaining about Silksong. They all have the same complaints. 'The runbacks are too hard! The runbacks are too long!' I've got an idea, NOOBS. How ‘bout you run back to preschool and git gud!”

Tyler Carver

I am thankful for Arc Raiders: All it took was a post apocalyptic world full of killer robots to confirm that I do, in fact, have trust issues.

SlyCut

I'm thankful for these Thanksgiving joke-a-thons. Even though when I showed one to my grandma, she said, "I told you nothing good comes from playing video games."

GreenMountainState

I'm thankful for Microsofts long and meandering journey of turning the Xbox into a Steam Machine... Oh wait.

Will K.

I'm thankful for another year of innovative game design and bold storytelling in games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Death Stranding 2... oh who am I kidding, I'm thankful for more bare feet!

Will K.

I'm thankful for the way Expedition 33 is unabashedly a "pastiche" or "homage" with its many nods to the JRPG and Soulslike genres...those French sure have a lot of fancy words to describe stealing people's ideas!

Jethrin

I’m thankful for Drag x Drive for dragging down everyone by saying “these aren’t wheelchairs why would you think that?” And driving everyone away with its gameplay

CaffeineDad

I’m thankful for Hades 2. And, while I’m at it, I’m thankful for Hades, too!

Adam Walters

I'm thankful for Expedition 33. How could we know JRPGs were good unless someone from the West made one?

Adam Walters

I'm thankful for Hazelight's dedication to co-op with Split Fiction. Actually, I assume people with friends are thankful.

WeGoGiant

I'm thankful for Dispatch for reminding me that dating your subordinate isn't an HR violation if they're really hot.

Bryan Tylec

I’m thankful for Jan Dolski and all the rest of his Alters for showing those stupid idiots in Expedition 50 the proper way to travel around the world in a giant hamster wheel.

Adam Walters

I'm thankful for corporate owned games media. Hey, they haven't destroyed every site yet.

WeGoGiant

I'm thankful for Expedition 33. I've always been too embarrassed to admit to people that I'm a mime, but now it's socially acceptable. Oh, uhh, I mean (mimes being stuck in a box)

McGreevy

I'm thankful for Welcome Tour on the Nintendo Switch 2. Now I know how much to charge when I show someone around, this is the desk, the cameras over there, Welcome! 10 bucks please.

McGreevy

Clover pit... ball x pit... I'd be thankful if someone could teach these gamers to care about their Arm Pits.

McGreevy

I'm gonna put the rest of mine in this one comment feel free not to use them: I'm thankful for midnight murder club, so cool of Sony to make a first person shooter, when was the last time they did that? Huh, concord? Like the planes? What's that? I'm thankful this year for more lay-offs! That's right, just like when you are a kid and your favourite sports team loses a lot, I am switching sides. Go Team Greed Money!! Fat Cats forever! I'm thankful for the cancellation and/or short lifespan of *checks notes* 27 live service games! This is a new genre "dead service games" that's right just like the video game industry we are recycling the same content from last year. *Re-read an already read out joke* - this joke is now copyright of Tencent

MarriottPlayer

I’m thankful for The Fantastic Four: First Steps giving me an existential crisis, forcing me to reevaluate my relationship not only with the MCU but with Marvel Comics as a whole.

MarriottPlayer

I’m thankful for Randy Pitchford. Just kidding! That guy sucks!

MarriottPlayer

I’m thankful Rockstar Games delayed Grand Theft Auto VI again, because now I have time to play The Getaway on PlayStation 2.

Cherrymorph

I'm thankful that as an outlet, we can be cautious of parasocial relationships while communing with Spielberg through his son I'm thankful for Randy Pitchford, he's right, if I can't cough up $80 for Borderlands 4, I must not be a real fan, thanks Randy

DoctorProfessor

I'm thankful for Haste for being a high-speed 3rd person running game that isn't embarrassing to be seen playing

Jake Simpson

Not a joke, but a request. Any chance that for the non-community jokes portion that the author of the joke reads it? No one is judging the writing ability. It’s just a little …..uh idk off? sometimes when the joke isn’t read by the author, what’s gained by anonymity probably doesn’t outweigh the loss in delivery. Just my 2 cents. Then the community ones can still be sprinkled throughout. My favorite show of the year either way! Thankful for MINNMAX

Bob Buel

Steam Machine? Steam Frame? Steam Controller? Sounds like a bunch of hot air to me!

Ethan Goldreyer

I'm thankful for all these layoffs. I mean hey, at least SOMEBODY 'S getting laid!

Azza G

I'm thankful for Xbox announcing a remake of the Halo 1 campaign for the 3 people who haven't played it! When they finish it they can finally jump into the legendary multiplayer togeth- oh wait.

Bob Buel

I like my video games like I like my cable news networks - Split Fiction.

Ethan Goldreyer

I'm thankful for the simpsons joining forces with fortnite... in the same way I'd be thankful for a bullet joining forces with my head!

Ethan Goldreyer

I'm thankful for Clair Obscur being nominated for best indie game. I mean, how could you say it's not indie?? It's literally IN DEE category!

Clark Hardaway

I'm thankful for PacMan turning 45 this year, proving you can keep running from your problems and still be considered a classic.

Clark Hardaway

I'm thankful for Microsoft renaming all the Game Pass tiers... now I can feel "poor", "poorer", and “are you serious?” in three convenient subscription options.

Clark Hardaway

I'm thankful for Crysis 4 being put on hold... for once, the thing that can’t run Crysis is the studio’s bank account.

Clark Hardaway

I'm thankful for GTA 6 being delayed again... by the time it comes out, crime might be legal and it’ll just be a walking simulator.

Bob Buel

I'm thankful that Doug Bowser is retiring at the end of the year. And in traditional Nintendo fashion, he'll be standing over a pit of lava as a bridge gives out underneath him. OR I'm thankful that Doug Bowser is retiring at the end of the year. And in traditional Nintendo fashion, Nintendo has patented the act of retiring and filed 31 lawsuit against smaller company's CEOs to protect their IP.

Cass Wilkinson Saldaña

I’m thankful for this sentence, and this planet, and this Ben Hanson - each of which, Microsoft has informed us, is an xbox. My favorite xbox is Pew Pew Bang!

Lamb Dance

I'm thankful for one of the year's most creative games, Blue Prince. It's a story about a little guy who lives in a blue world, and all day and all night, everything he sees is just blue, like him, inside and outside.

Christopher Calla

I'm thankful for my experience playing Blue Prince this year, because it reminded me of the importance of preserving historical buildings that have an East Wing.

Bob Buel

If you can't handle me at my Blippo, then you don't deserve me at my Dinkum.

Max B-Z

I'm thankful that Keita Takahashi really nailed to a T. Something I haven't witnessed since I read the Bible.

VinnyAhhh

I'm thankful we got a second GTA6 delay before GTA6

Fancygraham

I’m thankful for every decent citizen for not sleeping on Citizen Sleeper 2.

VinnyAhhh

I’m thankful for Dispatch — a game that proves the secret to selling a million copies is to make a TV show instead

VinnyAhhh

I’m thankful for Microsoft letting ICE use the Halo IP for their recruitment. Looks like they finally found something that is not an Xbox … their spine!

VinnyAhhh

I’m thankful that Umamusume tricked gamers into jorking it to horses

MakeItUnclear

I'm thankful for having an extra year to think of a joke about this pick-up artist I know who's an Atlus fan... he's really superficial and kind of annoying... he says he never met a 4 he can't has-io.

Adam_CW

I'm NOT thankful for all these ninjas this year! I've heard of a ninja man-cave, but a ninja guy-den? How much of the house does this ninja need??

Shawn Mills

I'm thankful that this year we got dispatch. I'm also thankful that we got dat patch.

Shane G

I'm thankful that so many cool games came out this fall. Instead of struggling to decide which one to play, being a gentleman I just said, Hades first.

bizkiut (Nick S.)

I'm thankful for Split Fiction for giving us the satisfaction of getting to see Josef Fares give another speech at the game awards.

Sean

I'm thankful for expedition 33. Now every millennial has an excuse to make their favorite complaint: feeling old and decrepit despite only being in their 30s. I mean seriously, add "being in your 30s" to the set up of a "don't worry, they'll tell you joke."

Sean

I'm thankful for Dispatch. See we do still want mediocre superhero stories, just don't put a marvel studios logo in front of it.

Josh Lamm

I'm thankful for all the ways we're supposed to say the letter X in 2025. In Persona 5: The Phantom X, it's pronounced "ex", in Drag X Drive, it's pronounced "and", and for the social media platform, it's pronounced dead. Long live Blue Sky!

Miskain

ARC Raiders? What's next, the Temple of Boom?

Azza G

I'm thankful for Ufosoft for releasing 50 games on its imaginary console. It's 50 games more than Xbox put out this year!

Reed

I'm thankful for the Super Nintendo World Direct. Every November, JFK assassination thoughts are eased by Ben saying “Zapruder footage for this Donkey Kong hot dog.” https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxPIFpn5JB9cUMo2LvCdyTLAgd9iUw7mHg I'm thankful for COD Black Ops 7. It bolstered player counts and made it easy to find a match... in Battlefield 6.

Rei Immanuel H. Romero

I'm thankful for Avowed. As a diehard fan of the first game, now I can die and give up on the series.

Brian Lyness

I'm thankful for investigative reporting. I did some of my own this year & found out that Randy Pitchford licensed himself out to be in two videogames one in 2018 the other in 2020. The developer CrazyBunch were apparently told to lift the subtitles of each game straight out of his autobiography. All I'm saying is I'm not sure if Wet Dreams Don't Dry or that they Dry Twice....

Brian Lyness

I'm thankful for the games in educating us about anatomy. I definitely knew that men had arm pits but the revelation that there is also a Ball Pit has me thinking about tapering my use of deodorant to cover both!

Rei Immanuel H. Romero

Steam machine? Steam frame? Steam controller? What's next? Steam train?!

Harrison Holt

I'm thankful for the can of Redbull that Gamestop provided to Gamestop Pro members during their in store Switch 2 launch event. Now I can assert my dominance in financial success and a childrens racing game, all night long.

Bryan Tylec

I’m thankful for the Clair Obscur soundtrack for skipping the middle man and automatically doing the same thing to my new favorite song that my old man brain does to all my other favorite songs. Making the lyrics be “Ding Ding Da duh duh Doot Doot Doo duh duh Boop Bop Beep Bop Boop”.

mantaguy

I'm thankful that gamers finally stopped caring about how many people are playing a non-live service game, and strengthening the false narrative that every game needs to be played forever to be considered a success in the process. Anyway, I'm off to look at Mario Kart World discourse again.

resnet

I'm thankful for Peak for making it way easier to have videographic evidence of my friends letting me down

OmegaBuster

This year, I’m thankful for my steam machine. It’s really improved both my game and work time, and helped me make new friends. There is nothing better than a well steam pressed shirt!

Josh Lamm

I'm thankful for all the ways we're supposed to say the letter X in 2025. In Persona 5: The Phantom X, it's pronounced "ex", in Drag X Drive, it's pronounced "and", and for the social media platform, it's pronounced dead. Long live Blue Sky!

SuperVedos

I'm thankful for the most anticipated Bungie games in decades... it's an extraction shooter called Art Stealers.

Clark Hardaway

I'm thankful for Borderlands 4... my brain needed somewhere the loot drops faster than my attention span.

Clark Hardaway

I'm thankful for Fantasy Life i letting me pick 14 different jobs... it’s the first CV messier than my real one.

Clark Hardaway

I'm thankful for blue print's shifting rooms... it’s comforting that even my virtual house has commitment issues.

MadSwell

This year I'm thankful for Pokémon Legends: Z-A... because if you're going to downgrade the franchise, at least commit alphabetically.

RiskyChrisP

I’m thankful for Shinibo: Art of Vengeance for finally ending the age-old debate of whether video games are art. Uh, of course they are: it’s right there in the title! Duh!! I’m thankful for Yakuza: Like a Pirate….wait, that’s not it…for Like a Dragon in Hawaii, Yakuza Pirate…no, that’s wrong too…for Pirate Yakuza: Like a Hawaiian…you know what, never mind, fuck this game

KevinJ

I'm thankful that big publishers like Ubisoft and EA have moved away from predatory microtransactions in games like Assassin's Creed Shadows and Dragon Age Veilguard. I just wish that they hadn't over-corrected and moved toward predatory MACROtransactions.

KevinJ

I'm thankful for Sunderfolk finally bringing the kind of innovation board gamers have been asking for -- sitting in front of a TV staring at your phone.

KevinJ

I'm thankful for the large cast of characters and enemies in Silksong, putting it right behind Monster Hunter Wilds for the 2025 game released with the most bugs.

Azza G

I'm thankful for Hollowknight: Silksong for finally coming out so I don't have to see my most insufferable friends at parties for a while!

Azza G

I'm thankful for Pokemon Legends ZA for giving me a good euphemism to use with my friends and family to cover up my crippling marijuana addiction

Azza G

I'm thankful for Nintendo GameCube Classics Online finally releasing on Nintendo Switch 2 so we can play our favourite Gamecube games. Can't wait until they add some!

Azza G

I'm thankful for Donkey Kong Bananzas DLC for reminding me to report my mum's credit card as stolen

Azza G

I'm thankful for Google Gemini automatically updating on my phone so I can ask it questions about my unresolved Stadia refunds. Remember Stadia?

Fred Dinovo

I'm thankful for Blue Prince for giving me an excuse that it's the RNG that's the problem not my smooth brain.

Jared Piers

Im thankful for Despelote. I already liked the original but that Justin Bieber feature goes insane. Im thankful for the many layered secrets in the puzzle masterpiece that is Blue Prince. Theres enough hidden rooms in that mansion to make your head spin! Though I did think the Rasta room was in poor taste. Definitely not irie. Im thankful for Silent Hill f. Bout time that series got a character with a little more depth than 'guy who's scared of pyramids'. With all this AI crap going on, its starting to look like America: Become Human out there.

Jared Piers

Me playing Umamusume after finding out they are all based off of real horses: Hmm, I guess in real life, this horse has really big tits.

Dillon H.

I'm thankful that Kirby Air Riders gave us a cool new way to name sequels. I can't wait for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Timers

Geebeesee

I'm thankful for Silent Hill f. I can't wait to finish my 9th play through to finally learn what the f stands for!

Geebeesee

I'm thankful for Pokemon Lazarus. This is my favorite Pokemon romhack of all... hold on someone's at my door. They appear to be Nintendo employee. I think they may be holding some kind of legal document.

Jeremy Banks

I'm thankful for the free demo of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, available on all major platforms. Finally, everyone can experience the first chapter in the 1st Chapter remake of First Chapter. Can't wait for 2026 to see how they translate the first chapter in the 2nd Chapter remake of Second Chapter

Sam Kennedy

I'm thankful for Despelote. No other game lets me pretend to be the athletic child my parents always wanted instead of the disappointing nerd they got.

Ronny B

I'm thankful for one-handed gaming snacks this Thanksgiving. During a prolonged gaming sesh, I accidentally shoved a carrot up my nose and had to go the emergency room. The doc took one look at me and said "I see the problem here. You're just not eating right!"

RynaGoGo

Im thankful that Drag x Drive has finally ended the debate on how to pronounce the X. Now Im going to go play my favorite Dreamcast driving game, Crazy Ta And I

resident eva

I'm thankful that Xbox remains evil enough to stay in the headlines so that I can continue to laugh at a man whose real name is Matt Booty

Devin Atlee-Nutts

This year I'm thankful for Xbox, who have taken big risks this year on their debut AAA titles. I loved playing the second remaster of Gears of War 1, and I can't wait for the second remaster of Halo 1!

Devin Atlee-Nutts

This year I'm thankful for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for making sure that EA's recent success with Battlefield 6 doesn't compromise their spot as the most disliked video game company in the industry.

Will H.

I’m thankful for The Alters. The only game that made me consider my life choices as much as paying for Welcome Tour did.

RickyWinterborn

I'm thankful for the Playstation Portal, the Switch 2, the Steam Deck, The Xbox ROG thing, and the eventual PS6 Handheld for making my apartment look like I'm a psychotic ipad baby.

RickyWinterborn

I'm thankful for the Steam Frame from Valve, so now we can complain about getting sick in VR and the industry being dead with no games BUT now without a facebook account.

Devin Atlee-Nutts

Build A Rocket Boy? I sure hope they don't. Their last launch went down in flames harder than NASA launching the Challenger shuttle.

RynaGoGo

I’m thankful that Steam finally delisted all of those gross porn games from its store. It seems they missed one though. Big Helmet Heroes.

Devin Atlee-Nutts

This year we saw many games delay their release so they didn't get overshadowed by Silksong. I'm thankful that Rockstar took this advice and delayed GTA6 to make way for the most hotly anticipated release of the year: The Epstein Files.

CptCobblePot

I’m thankful for JeffM finally finding games to sum up his recent sex life: Ball X Pit, Flick Shots, Below The Crown, and finally Baby Steps. Thanks 2025 gaming

RickyWinterborn

I'm thankful that Nintendo took the brave step of upping games to $80 so GTA 6 can comfortably launch at $100 which paves a noble pathway for Elder Scrolls 6 to drop at $169.99 plus $4.20 for a pack of 10 loot boxes that have a 1% chance of getting horse armor.

McGreevy

I'm thankful for Ben's baby! Now do we think its like best baby of the year material or just a neat little thing?

McGreevy

I'm thankful for all these jokes. Since we randomise them and shuffle them out it could almost be considered a roguelike and it might crack Jeffm's top 10.

BearCommando

I’m thankful this year for Donkey Kong Bananza. The levels are excellent, but the bananas are just K… (the atomic symbol for potassium)

Tonkles Bonkles

I'm thankful for Ball X Pit making being paralytically stoned an acceptable state to game in.

Shane G

I'm thankful they finally brought back Final Fantasy tictacs.

Devin Atlee-Nutts

This year I'm thankful Nintendo managed to develop Pokemon Legends Z-A with only a $13 million budget. They filed a lot of strong patents with that money.

Craig Stuart

I'm thankful for the great reception of Expedition 33 this year. I would have liked to jump in from the start myself myself but am struggling to find copies of expeditions 1 through 32 right now.

Craig Stuart

I am thankful for all the great games coming out this year. I've been glued to my monitor for months. More than ever, people are telling me to go outside and touch grass. Which I will do, as soon as they improve the resolution/frame rate out there.

Craig Stuart

I am thankful for all the great parents to the next generation of gamers out there. Several of my friends have asked me about next year's GTA6 release and if it will be suitable for their young children. I've told them I have a simple system for checking if a game is suitable for a young audience. Is it named after a crime? Probably Not then.

Craig Stuart

I am thankful for Hideo Kojima and his naming conventions. Heart-man, Tar-man, Doll-man: I am a Caucasian male with no striking features or particular talent. By Hideo Kojimas naming system, would I be called Man-man?

Bryan Tylec

I’m thankful for Donkey Kong Bananza for teaching me that I’ve been spelling the word banana wrong my entire life. There’s an O in that word?!

KevinJ

I'm thankful that EA is no longer going to be traded on a public stock market and will be privately owned, so Battlefield 7 can be nominated for Best Independent Game where it truly belongs.

Radio

I'm thankful for Peak forcing me and my friends to use in-game chat instead of Discord. Sorry, annoying guy on Discord who always joins the voice channel. No, the game is WAY too heavy for your PC!

Radio

I'm thankful that Aaron Paul's new game, Dispatch, has more gameplay than his last one. I didn't even make it past Need for Speed's 2 hour opening cutscene!

Craig Stuart

I am thankful to the rise of AI in gaming and all the other aspects of life. It's so good! I'm even using it to flawlessly do all my writing for me as I have struggled with my England since I was a children.

Craig Stuart

I am thankful for MinnMax, however, I want to call out the blatant false advertising for the MinnMax Game Jam: I personally didn't see or hear mention of a single spread or preserve through the entire thing.

Jarell Pryor

I'm thankful to Hollowknight Silksong, for giving me the perfect nighttime activity after a long day. After failing to solve programming bugs at work and failing to get my 1-year-old son to bed on time, I get to unwind by failing to beat the Savage Beastfly all over again.

Craig Stuart

I'm thankful for Blue Prince and it's addictive rogue-like puzzle gameplay loop. It's incredibly successful in that it frequently reminds me that repeated failure is not only an aspect of my working life, but the games I play as well.

Craig Stuart

I'm thankful to Capcom for taking the public criticism of Monster Hunters Wilds difficulty to heart, with it frequently described as too easy. Glad they addressed this and made it much harder for PC players to play.

Radio

I'm thankful to Shadow Labyrinth, the Pac Man game, for being the last time a studio will attempt a gritty reboot. Word is, Konami has quietly cancelled their upcoming game Frogger With A Gun

Michael Zajicek

I’m thankful for Clair Obscure Expedition 33 for showing us that in the year 2025 many gamers still didn’t know that turn based RPGs were a genre of games.

Samier Mukhashen

I'm thankful The Simpsons were added to Fortnite. Because I have a spot on Homer impression that kids these days just weren't appreciating. Now if they could just add Columbo I would be all set.

Samier Mukhashen

I'm thankful Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds came out and is getting good reviews! Because this confirms to me I don't like kart racers anymore.

CptCobblePot

Im thankful for the Pokémon company suing the development of Palworld, now we know who truly holds the master balls.

Adam Castellanos

I’m thankful for Claire obscur expedition 33 for being one of my favorite games of the year, but my kids hate it, they much prefer Clair obscure expedition 6 7. Feel free to boo me.

Radio

I'm thankful that the Steam Machine will let me play my adult games on the big screen, but I heard it's kind of underpowered? If I can't play Hentai Mania at 4k60, I'll stick with the Switch version. (real switch game by the way)

Jalopy Slow

I'm thankful Nintendo's new console is appropriately numbered 2. Because that's how many Switch 2's I'll have bought when they release one with a screen that isn't a ghosting smeary dogshit mess! #DigitalFoundry I'm thankful for the fraternity-style Greek subtitle of Metal Gear Solid Delta. Because playing through it's horrid optimization felt like being hazed! #DigitalFoundry As an adult that owns every console but gaming time is increasingly siphoned away by escalating responsibilites, I'm thankful that Xbox put their price-hiking foot down & said "Don't even worry about us bro! Enjoy your PlayStation & Nintendo." As Game of the Year discussions begin, I'm thankful that Assassin's Creed: Shadows showed Ghost Of Yotei how to respectfully execute the Japanese stealth-action fantasy. What's more Ninja-like than people being completely unaware of your existence? I'm thankful for Silent Hill f. More like Silent Hill A Plus! What a game! I sometimes worry that people think I'm a real jerk. So I'm thankful that the Splitgate 2 CEO guy made me feel like much less of a douchebag.

Devin Atlee-Nutts

This year I'm thankful that DoubleFine managed to release their final game before Microsoft's next earnings call. At least there will be a good postmortem doc, and more importantly, protection of shareholder value.

Craig Stuart

I'm thankful for this old proverb that is eerily poinient to this year in gaming: If a MindsEye releases in the Forrest and no one cares to buy it, does it release at all?

Craig Stuart

I'm thankful to Ubisoft, for being considerate of my games completion list and Finally updating Siege to add that X after the title to check it off my list for me.

Devin Atlee-Nutts

This year I'm thankful for Nintendo, it was very gracious of them to buy the exclusive rights to the minigames from my elementary school's first game jam, and it's been great to see their handiwork in a real published product. I hope you enjoyed Welcome Tour!

Devin Atlee-Nutts

This year I'm thankful for Xbox. By raising the price of their consoles *and* gamepass while releasing earth-shatteringly mid first party games, they've done everything they could to drive away customers in support of the BDS boycott.

Radio

I'm thankful GTA 6 got delayed to next year. Things are looking up for the mission I'm publishing in Mindseye.

Chris H

I'm thankful Bungie delayed Marathon again to give the devs a bit more time. Remember - game development is a marathon, not a sprint

OddJackBourne

I'm thankful that indie games make use of AI: Artistic Integrity!

Max Malavenda

I'm thankful that despite companies like EA, Ubisoft, and SNK taking money from and collaborating with the Saudi Arabian government, I'm able to separate my gaming and my politics and take my mind off of all those human rights abuses. Let's enjoy a game now! How about... ASSASSINS Creed? Erm maybe not. Maybe F1 25, I can race one of the latest tracks in... Jeddah, Saudi Arabia?? Surely I'll be safe with the new Fatal Fury, now featuring Chistiano Ronaldo! I wonder what team he's playing for now....

ShiaLaBeef

I'm thankful for Gwen Stefani for teaching my generation how to spell "bananas," and I'm thankful for Donkey Kong for teaching this generation that they're delicious. (Oh, Banana!) Alternate: I'm thankful for Gwen Stefani for teaching my generation how to spell "bananas," and I'm thankful for Donkey Kong for teaching this generation how to spell "bonanza"...

ShiaLaBeef

I'm thankful for all the science taught in video games this year. Where else will kids learn about the cutting edge research on Banandium?

ShiaLaBeef

I'm thankful for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for proving that games that release early can still sweep every game award and for teaching me a new phrase... Wait, what did "clair obscur" mean again?

ShiaLaBeef

Sony games release on PC now, and rumor has it they might have cross-buy. Boy are they thankful that Microsoft got all the heat for having "no console exclusives" for the past few years

ShiaLaBeef

I'm thankful for Blue Prince for letting me live out the fantasy of having a rich relative who leaves me a giant mansion

Rei Immanuel H. Romero

I'm thankful for Hades 2. When Melinoe showers, do you think she actually cleans her feet or does she let the gravity do the work? Asking for Mr. Benh Anson

Tanner Hoisington

I'm thankful for Sakurai teaching us in his direct that there is a optimal amount of buttons a game should have. For Kirby Air Riders it's now 2. For comparison, the number for MindsEye is 0.

CrabPalace

This year I'm thankful for A Game About Digging A Hole. Just tell the Roblox CEO to stop playing it during interviews!

CrabPalace

Did you guys hear?? They finally gave an iconic nintendo character a motorbike. The cow.

Cashewual

This year I'm thankful for A Game About Digging A Hole, although I'm a bit suprised MinnMax didn't feature it more given how you're always asking how this hole thing operates?

Cashewual

This year I'm thankful for Dinkum. Dinkum? Dinkum?! DAMN NEAR KILLED EM (Help I'm stuck in Punland, this is a cry for help)

Jenny

I’m thankful that Baby Steps and Dispatch made 2025 widely known as the Year of the Dong

Jenny

Im thankful that in the final puzzle of the post-post credit content we finally figure out the mystery of who Blew Prince.

popeattitude

This year, I’m thankful for Death Stranding story recaps, which told a more coherent, compelling, and genuinely moving story in 15 minutes than the game could in 50+ hours.

Ian Savino

I’m thankful for The Outer Wilds 2, though I don’t remember the first game being this violent…

Ian Savino

I’m thankful that the developer of Megabonk withdrew from the best debut indie game so that we can push to get Mindseye on there

Ian Savino

I’m thankful for Kyle Bosman, because without him we wouldn’t now have behind the curtain footage of Leo Vader in beekeeper suit violently stroking a mop before repeatedly shoving it into his butthole

Luis

I'm thankful for the Metaverse, because there's nothing like donning a $500 headset to wait for updates, scroll through empty virtual worlds, and remember that all the best VR games seem to exist purely in Meta's PowerPoint presentations.

CaffeineDad

I’m thankful for the Switch 2. And, while I’m at it, I’m thankful for the Switch, too!

CaffeineDad

I’m thankful that the gaming community is mature enough to have had serious discussions about Hades 2 without ever saying “HEY DEEZ 2 NUTZ”.

Doug Chomicz

I’m thankful for all the amazing games made by humans this year. Apparently, all the gaming corporate CEOs agree and have been quoted as saying, ‘Games surely can’t get any better so let’s shut it all down and hand it over to AI. Gimmie more money!! Wah! Wah!’.

SlyCut

I'm thankful for little kids. When I told my nephew the PlayStation Portal will stream from the cloud, he ran outside to catch his own PlayStation Portal.

Juz10

I’m thankful Nintendo allowed Sakurai to host two Nintendo directs talking about his love for Kirby Air Riders. By doing so, they essentially saved small independent video game media outlets from going broke. Without an outlet to channel his passion, he may have had to start a podcast. Let’s face it, if that ever happened, his depth of knowledge combined with his output production would put everyone else to shame.

Juz10

I'm thankful that the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 allowed Nintendo to show off their wonderful imagination, creating new IPs with fun interesting characters. They introduced generic robots in "not wheel chairs" (don't call them that), and tech demos created by the local middle school game design class.... Uh Nintendo, are you doing okay over there?

Jalopy Slow

I'm thankful that Doug Bowser announced that he will be retiring as CEO of Nintendo Of America, making way for his successor; Devon Dry Bones. I'm thankful that 1000xRESIST finally got it's PS5 release on November 4th. HOW AM I ONLY FINDING THIS OUT NOW BECAUSE I SCROLLED ALL THE WAY THROUGH "2025 IN VIDEOGAMES" ON WIKIPEDIA!? I'm thankful that Double Fine keeps using words that subconsciously stop Microsoft from shutting them down. After "Keeper" they should call their next games "UnClosed", "4EverFunded" & "ASUS ROG Psychonauts Ally X"

Cashewual

This year I'm thankful for Pirate Yakuza, Two Point Museum and Indiana Jones & The Great Circle. Truly a trifecta of games emphasizing the fun in yoinking treasures and relics from it's rightful owners!

ian c

this year, I'm thankful for enshittification. do your thing on AI art in games, buddy!

Radio

I'm thankful for Is This Seat Taken for indulging my power fantasy: getting on a bus and announcing "Nobody sit next to me"

RynaGoGo

I’m thankful for Jedi Fallen Hors D’oeuvres? Is that anything? Can you time travel that one back 6 years. It would have killed.

DingusDoof

I’m thankful for the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera Accessory. What better way to experience the beauty and uniqueness of Nintendo’s art style than with my ugly mug smacked in the middle of it.

Trumanji

This year, I’m thankful I’m not still playing overwatch

Freddy Fro

I’m thankful for all the MinnMax weddings this year. Although I’d have been more thankful if our collective community invitation ever arrived in the mail!!!!! #Parasocialbutterfly

Cashewual

This year I'm thankful for Öoo, which is also the noise I made when I realized how little there was to do in the free roam mode of Mario Kart World.

Jake

I’m thankful for the Nintendo Switch 2’s camera. Now I can see my friend’s reactions from the comfort of our homes! Update: They smiled, I think! Thanks Nintendo!

Jared Piers

I'm thankful that they put The Grabber in Fortnite. Of course I'm talking about Homer Simpson, who is often seen grabbing his son's neck, strangling him and such.

Freddy Fro

I’m thankful for playing a fun, lethal twist on Duck Duck Goose while sitting on my church’s long wooden benches: Pew Pew Bang

Radio

I'm thankful for Deadpool VR. I heard there's a deleted scene where Deadpool wisecracks about being an exclusive on the Quest 3, but the publisher thought the joke was too META.

Nick from Atlanta

I'm thankful that Geoff Keighley is using The Game Awards to truly uplift and honor games and their developers. It's good to know it's not exploiting programs like Future Class to abuse our trust, and I'm happy to know it isn't just a four hour long ad fest with a few awards. *holds ear* Hang on, I'm getting an update... Well, at least I'm thankful my partner bought the non-refundable tickets before the Future Class thing came out!

Nick from Atlanta

I'm thankful for Digital Extremes and Warframe. I spent 6 months unemployed this year, and being able to play a game where I could constantly make number go up made me at least feel like I was productive in some way, even when the job search wasn't going well. I love how tapped into their community they are and how welcoming they are to new players. Also, they make the Warframes look really hot.

Neill Smith

This year I'm thankful for split fiction for reminding us that bad writing is ok as long as you wink at the camera and say its bad.

Steve Bellegarde

Im thankful for Microsoft for raising the price of their Xbox hardware this year. The best time to make your already poorly selling product inexpensive is when your reputation is at an all time low!

MrButtons

I’m thankful for Elden Ring: Nightreign being a multiplayer game with no voice chat. While FromSoftware loves to challenge players, they would never subject them to the greatest challenge of all: talking to their fans.

Sean

I’m thankful for the game awards and always giving us a new topic to discuss every year. Can we allow clair obscur to be considered an indie game? If only the game awards had some kind of voting jury to make these tough distinctions.

Sean

I’m thankful for blue prince and reminding me why I should never get too excited sharing the things that I love.

Sean

I’m thankful for the last of us season 2. Finally a version of the story without any subtlety. And if that was too subtle for you, I did not like season 2.

Arcaanier

I'm thankful for Sandfall Interactive! Their debut game has moved me so much, it got me to explore French cuisine, and I'm loving it! In fact, I will be bringing some notable pastries to the dessert table for the Thanksgiving feast. I messed up the recipe and added so much frosting that you can't tell what it is, but oh well, I figure that someone would appreciate the Éclairs Obscur!

Tyler Sticka

I'm thankful for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, for reminding us what's really important: Deciding if something deserves to be called "indie."

Tyler Sticka

I'm thankful for Erika Ishii's amazing performance in Ghost of Yōtei. I'm not on social media as much these days so I can only assume gamers at large were nothing but cool and positive about it.

Brian Lyness

I'm thankful for blueprints, no not Blue Prince the game but blueprints in the game. I'm really happy I've cleared that up, that was hanging over me.

Brian Lyness

There are more 'thankful's' in this comment section than there were dildos in the original Cyberpunk 2077 1.0 release. It's sickening!

Brian Lyness

I'm thankful for Leo's soft tones & impeccable comedic timing. The world would be a better place if we got Leo to replace Alexa. Although I do think that Leo's "I'm sorry I didn't understand that" would be too sarcastic for people to handle.

The Hottest Robot

I'm thankful Dogubomb finally implemented a colorblind mode in Brown Prince.

The Hottest Robot

I'm thankful to act 3 of Silksong for giving me the push I needed to finally sign up for anger management classes.

Tess

I'm thankful Team Cherry took all that time to make Hollow Knight Silksong. Just think what the game would be like if it only had 3 sewer zones.

Trebor Treebeard

I’m thankful for AI, which I asked to come up with a joke for the MinnMaxx show and it came up with this: “In 2025, every new game claims it uses AI—but half the time that just means there’s an NPC who calls you ‘buddy’ a little too confidently, like it’s trying to get on the MinnMaxx show.”

notweirder

I'm thankful for Nintendo's commitment to re-releasing old switch games with fabulous bonus content: Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV, Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World, and Clubhouse Games™: 51 Worldwide Classics + Four Old Swedish Games No One's Heard Of. I can't wait to play Sjörövarön!

Joey Smith

This year I’m thankful for developers who admit they’ve made games with AI because I for sure AIn’t playing those games.

notweirder

I'm thankful for Ghost of Yo, Tay-lor Swift got engaged? Good for her!

D M

I'm thankful there aren't many holiday themed games coming out this year, because that means the only CRUNCH those developers deal with is their in-law's cooking.

picobots

It’s a good thing I missed the deadline, because this is a truly terrible, borderline nonsensical joke, but I’m going to post it anyway: I’m thankful that Arc Raiders sold so well, which means we can all look forward to the inevitable sequels — Doom Templers, Crusade Lasters, Crystal Skull Kingdomers, and Destiny Dialers.

Doc

I'm thankful for little johns GOTY: YOTEI
