You are welcome to enlighten this lovely community why the games you listed are your top picks for current and future entertainment.
I'm looking forward to WOW: Legion and Star Citizen, since they seem like a safe bet. I've also been waiting for almost a decade for that stupid SWG emu to finally get done. I'm familiar with WOW and with Legion for $50 + $15 (monthly sub) I know what to expect to get and how to enjoy it for what it will offer. I'll do arena, I'll do rated battlegrounds, I'll raid and I'll try to get the best/coolest titles/mounts etc. Star Citizen and its massive budget, I doubt I can make mistake and regret by not buying it on launch. It's after all the only option for high budget MMO's in early 2017. From the indie department, there seems to be way too many and too early to tell, so I usually like to wait and see how they perform after the dust settles, post launch.
I'm currently playing Marvel Heroes Online. Over the last 2 years I've been rotating through Marvel Heroes, Path of Exile and some private server MMO (after WOW:WoD failed me, of course). I'm coming back to Marvel Heroes because there is great anniversary event coming this Friday, which I don't want to miss it, as well as there is new content and more new content now that they slowing down on making new heroes, as well as finishing the QoL on many of them.
There is a good chance I might try a private server MMO as well, once some expansion arrives. Finally, counter strike 1.6 warcraft mod is my go to FPS game for variety. From single player games, sadly nothing. I might eventually play Heroes and Legends: Trails of the Sky and it's sequel SC because they are one of the few traditional JRPG I can get my hands on PC that I've missed with great reviews.

Looking forward to No Man's Sky and Camelot Unchained. I forgot to add Pokémon Sun and Moon.

- Camelot Unchained

Currently playing:Only put 4 hours into TW:Warhammer so far but loving it. I've basically been wanting this game since the first total war came out, and now its here! Its a big departure from previous games, the zerg is strong so far! Still, despite still basically being at the start of the game I've had some massive fights already. I'm playing as orcs, most of my units are pretty crap (basic orc boys, goblin spearmen and archers) but the goblin doomdiver looks awesome!
Also really enjoying the lords and heroes. My orc lord currently level 9, hasn't really unlocked much in terms of skills but I've gained a load of gear which has given him new skills. He now has a fireball spell, a sprint spell and a root spell. Takes a bit of micro-managing but its fun to sprint into some fleeing archers, root them then kill then. A night goblin hero also just unlocked a wolf mount which is cool!
Currently Playing: Fallout 4 (survival mode)

ii) Do we need a monthly edition? Part of the beauty of Vanilla to me is that it seems engineered toward fewer, more robust threads. See, for example, forums.penny-arcade.com
1) Not really looking forward to much, except maybe the Steam / iOS release of Vendetta. My cup runneth over between options, being a parent, and music (I play the didge, violin, hand-drums and guitar). The anticipation game is one I'm a stranger to. Participation is what it's about, for me.
2) Currentlyplaying:
Vendetta Online
Minecraft
Hex
Fez
Botanicula
I may also return to my Hard-Iron Mode playthrough of Massive Chalice at some point (currently my most played game on Steam).
Vendetta Online is my old standby; pretty much has been since June 2nd, 2003.

Authored 139 missions in Vendetta Online and 6 tracks in Distance
Playing Black Desert for my mmo. while I'll try Bless when it comes I'm not looking forward to any mmo's except Pantheon and hopefully Dragon's Dogma Online will come to the west.
Playing Witcher 3, Skyrim, a bit of Morrowind and a bit of Dragon's Dogma.
Just started a new Nevewinter Nights 2 game last night.
I'll buy the new Doom at some point, don't care about multiplayer.

Cyberpunk 2077
Various games to purchase during the summer sale
Playing:
Witcher 3 dlc
I'm looking forward to Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen.
I'm currently playing EverQuest: Phinigel Progression Server.
I'm tired of action combat and content designed for arcade gamers. I'm looking forward to the potential virtual world simulation in Pantheon with it's slower paced combat, progression and focus on cooperative game play.

Looking forward to: a 4x game that doesn't disappoint me in the first week. Also, a game that doesn't try to pretend that Kickstarter is the Securities and Exchange Commission. Can we at least get a Kickstarter campaign to sit by the interstate exit to do their panhandling so I can 'accidentally' hit them?

GalCiv was most disappointing. I flitted through like 50 turns just exploring and growing and almost nothing eventful happened during that time.

Looking Forward - Intent on getting Kings and Heroes, not much in the short term, just looking at other projects and seeing what kinda tech they are working on.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Cost to develop ramps up over time too, so you see the bothersome trend of more polish = less content, which also directly impacts the amount of game features a studio is comfortable in working into a game. Ultimately corners need to get cut most of the time in game plans and it's a rare occasion for a game to launch in a state the devs had originally intended.
Makes the idea of continuously expanding a genre's content/quality a bit of a pipe dream sadly.

All game systems require dev and balance work to do right, so it actually is unreasonable to expect games to have all the old systems plus new ones. Some growth does happen because better tools are being introduced gradually over time, but there's also the matter of how many systems a game tries to teach a player at once (it's really easy to be completely incomprehensible to the average player, at which point all the systems you've designed basically get thrown into the trash anyway.)

(1) I am playing Senran Kagura Estival Versus and Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess on PS4.
(2) As far as MMOs, I am looking forward to City of Titans (the most) and then Camelot Unchained (not as much). No other MMO is even so much as on the radar for me, and I think most of the genre is just junk right now.
