long gone

No, it doesn't. But right now, there are a lot of "gamers" who only play CoD, so it's their by-default favorite. I still say they need to open up a bit, but if there's not guns, they're not interested.

This isn't so much a "best games" thing as it is a "most popular" thing. But that doesn't get as much attention.

Apparently they only polled 5000 people. I think that I can infer from this list that the majority of them are casual gamers rather than core ones.

Saying CoD is seriously "The best franchise" especially based on those kinds of numbers, is complete bullshit, not to mention bold and stupid. It'd make more sense if it was called "best-selling" or "most popular"

Reminds me when they said Black Ops had the best ending ever, which was even more stupid
