I don't care much for community vote usually. I just click what seems interesting to me, and often there's nothing interesting among the three choices, I get my card and I'm done but today something weird happened.

3Dmark won the community vote. Now how the hell did that happen? I mean seriously it's pretty much useless so how come so many people were interested in it?

Have you seen any other weird community picks? :D

What's popular about 3dmark?

Ask people who consider themselves gamers if they know a tool called Clickteam Fusion. Ask them again if the new a tool called Fuse. One more time, ask them if they know 3DMark. While most of those won't know the first two, a good handful of them will at least have heard of 3DMark.

Actually you don't even need to do that. Just check the reviews for those tools on Steam. Just looking at the number itself shows a big gap, not to forget the actual rating.

Check the price of the other two tools. That should give you a hint.

Well that should give me a hint that with a 80% discount they're on a pretty good deal.

So yeah, 3Dmark with 80% is cheaper than those two but it has no actual use so it's like throwing the five bucks out of the window.

It's still a lot more money. Ever thought about the tiny possibility that people think different than you and actually find 3Dmark useful? Just because you don't see a purpose in it doesn't mean most others think the same. We also don't see the actual end of the vote. Chances are it was all rather even and people voted just randomly for the card.

The two other softwares are actually able to produce something. You can even make an actual game with clickteam fusion for like 15 bucks. With 3Dmark you can launch it, see how your PC does, and that's it. And you pay 5 bucks for it so in the longrun both of the other choices are actually cheaper and more useful.

Maybe they all just click what seems interesting to them too, just like you, and little did they know most of them would be voting for 3DMark too?
p/s: I voted for OMSI 2 just now

Well, I guess you never hear about futuremark before. For general user 3dmark is useless, but for tweaker is very usefull. professional web use that tool.

I didn't voted 3Dmark, but other 2 even at 80% offer are still expensive, 16 and 18€, but ppl normally vote what popular even if they won't buy, last summer sale I wanted Crysis 1, if it won the vote it would be very cheap, and there was an option for CoD Black Ops 2 also, 50% I think it was, and CoD won. So no Crysis 1 for me :( and this was the only opportunity to get it on good sale.

3Dmark is a software you launch about once and you're done with it. So that's actually more expensive than paying 16 bucks for a software you can create your own game with.

At least I got it for free from Sapphire Gold membership, but yeah it doesn't have much use really. I should have made GA for it here better.

probably relatively few users cared about non-game vote anyway and just went with the cheapest

It's usually just a popularity contest and the winner sometimes doesn't really make practical sense for those who follow sales.

Anyway, the new vote is up. If anyone votes for Orion Prelude they deserve to get punched in the face irl. The savings are so minute it's insignificant (the game is only $1.00 regularly), whereas the difference on something like the new IL-2 game is actually significant.

Yea.... why am I not surprised? People are seriously retarded. Congratulations on saving a whole 10 cents on Orion Prelude ($0.49 instead of $0.59). I could walk down the street to my local convenience store and probably find 10 cents laying in the parking lot.....
