If you don't like it, why bother commenting? Stick to things that interest you. Obviously this interests others, which is why it's at the top. Would you prefer the top article be another useless list or flamebait opinion piece?

That's not how it works. No other medium nominates an artist multiple times in the same category. Video games are no different.
Was I in a time machine? Why is this on the front page?

Don't want it? Don't buy it.
Never. The Olympics have standards.
Or maybe people like what they like, and maybe you should simply accept that.
