Honestly popularity has little to do with being good before a game comes out. And still it's one of the most anticipated titles for the PC ALREADY makes a point that a LOT of people are interested and want it. I'm sure it'd be farther down if it was just Kotor 3. But then that'd also depend on the developer for K3 and what we knew.
IF BioWare was doing the KotOR III, it might be in the Top 40. And also, probably 80-90% of the KotOR fans dont care if it's not MMO or if it is MMO. But take the dont care side and multiply that with the anti-MMO crew and you'll be adding maybe 10% of KotOR fans to 80-90%, higher is better, right. . And again, I dont give a crap about popularity, I play games that I like and not top 40 bull crap.
So why'd you bring up popularity anyway?
For those who do only play popular games, and closed-minded they can be, I've come across many gamers who only play popular games, and they can be some of the most closed-minded bastards ever. Anyway, I say we just drop the popularity subject.
