But is lack of replayability a bad thing? If something's good, it's good. Regardless of whether you do it for a day or for a year. I consider longevity to be separate from the overall quality of a game (or anything else really).

Yeah. Some of the best games I have played lack so-called replayability.

There is some negativity in here between people that should subside.

Was Papers Please released proper this year? I think it was.

No 2013 DF release.
It was a bad year for PC gaming, for gaming, for life.

I kid, but still, I was very disappointed when there was no release over the holidays.

Papers Please was indeed and made it onto the top ten lists of several game devs who are not professional gaming journalists.

Touhou 14 came out, and had quite fun bonus mechanics; that's good enough for me.

Plenty of journalists put it on their lists too. Giant Bomb put it on their top 10 - heck, almost half that list was indie games this year, with Gone Home, Divekick, and Rogue Legacy rounding it out.

There are many thing I am thankful for this year. Papers, Please was awesome. Enemy Within was awesome. BLOOD DRAGON WAS AWESOME! Monaco was fun.

GOG had a great sale this winter and Edios rereleased Startopia. PC gaming had a good year in some respects and a poor year in others. I got the original Fallouts for free, but also watched what remained of the Sim City franchise go up in embers (listen to your fanbase rather than try to create a $60 Farmville simulator...)
It also seems that the PC FPS/RTS genres were quite weak for this year (though AOEII got an expansion, the rerelease was kind of meh for me.)

There were very few I MUST BUY THIS GAME moments this year. Perhaps I am getting older, perhaps things seem less new and less interesting.

And now nobody can buy them. GOG is not allowed. A blow to be sure.

Steam?

They don't seem to be available on steam anymore.

Supposedly it will come back to Steam after they strip all mention of the previous business owner out. So, nobody can buy them now and nobody can buy them DRM free in the future. GOG got its ups and downs this past year, although technically this year was this particular down.

Interplay screwed up their agreements and Zenimax took deep advantage of that. Honestly I probably won't see them anymore for distribution.
