How picks are built

Fit first. Hype last.

  1. 01
    Confirm the loop

    We start with official game and campaign information, then label anything that remains uncertain.

  2. 02
    Map the commitment

    Session pace, persistence, social expectations, and progression pressure matter more than a launch trailer.

  3. 03
    Name the right player

    Every profile states who may enjoy the game and who should probably skip it.
