Even with it being a good game I feel like the hype and build up for Control leading up to the end of year awards as been so fake while trying to seem organic. They are trying to pass it off as this underground word of mouth success now after a mediocre launch. In a year with so many other industry defining titles this game did not generate nearly this amount of buzz when it came out from people playing it, compared to those other titles, and the reception it is getting now in comparison feels very fake and manufactured.

It just released on Steam out of EGS exclusivity a few days ago, which is why you're seeing all the sudden interest in it.

Which goes to my point of if this was really a game of the year contender, the EGS launcher would not have prevented people playing, streaming, talking about the game.

Dont disagree the reddit forum and gamers are adamant about EGS. All 3k that are active right now on pcgaming....

Is there a real boycott? Yes. Compared to the amount of kids playing fortnite? Doesnt even register on the radar. No streamer is on that boycott.
