2022 'Most Drama-Filled Game' Award Pre-selection: Who is This Year's Champion of Chaos?

As the end of the year approaches, NGA's 'Gua Ban' (the board famous for discussing gaming drama/scandals) has launched its pre-selection for the '2022 Most Drama-Filled New Game' award. The OP recalled the legendary performance of 'Tower of Fantasy' last year—which seized the top spot immediately upon launch—and expressed hope that developers would 'pull off something big' to compete for the title this year.

The eligibility criteria include games released between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, provided they have non-locked, non-hidden threads on the drama board. The OP provided an extensive list, including titles like 'Aether Gazer,' 'NIKKE,' 'Path to Nowhere,' and 'Arena Breakout.' Given the smaller volume of new releases this year, the primary voting stage might be skipped entirely.

The comment section is buzzing with drama enthusiasts: some nominated 'Path to Nowhere,' sarcastically praising the operations team for their 'fifteen apology notices in two days' as a badge of honor. Others nominated 'Aether Gazer,' arguing that as one of the first games to 'self-destruct' via poor management earlier this year, it deserves a top-three spot.

The topic of last year's champion, 'Tower of Fantasy,' remains a recurring theme. Since it launched in mid-December last year, some players joke about the disappointment of it missing this year's eligibility window. However, noting that the international server of 'Tower of Fantasy' essentially repeated all the mistakes of the original, some users suggested nominating the global version instead.
