It's pretty clear after skimming the list that this is a top 100 games we liked from recent years and a few classics that if we don't mention people will get mad.

They break down how they put it together and the recency bias is deliberate, they want to keep it moving, so they weigh newer games so they can cycle and keep driving those clicks.

I mean, I get it, it's all arbitrary anyway and you don't want to just chuck The Secret of Monkey Island at the top and let the list stay the same for the next four decades.
