Underrail was crowd-funded? I thought it was one of the examples that wasn't

Technically it was early accessed before Early Access was a thing like Mount and Blade before it. I got it from some bundle site years before it came out.

One of the best blobbers of the last 20 years, in my opinion. Not that we had that much to choose from, aside from the weeboo anime JRPG's.

The most average cRPG of all time: 17
Walking simulator in the woods and on the meadow: 19
The best cRPG ever: 45
Tyranny 95? Good joke. Top 10 is the minimum.
Original Sin better than Original Sin II?
Such lists should be alphabetical. Otherwise, they do not make sense.

Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Bubbles In Memoria
I didn't vote for it(and it isn't anyway near my favorite rogue-like), but I still consider the fact that Nethack didn't make into this list a travesty.

Codex never had a big focus on blobbers, just some very active fans like aweigh and support from Codex authority in the form of Crooked Bee

I think I already said this in the review thread, but it is worth repeating: The fact that we have new games getting high ranking in the poll really shows that our hobby is healthy at the moment. Rejoice!
I'd honestly be surprised if the majority of people who voted for Kingmaker even made it to Armag's tomb.
It's a decent game, but I expect it to fall down to the 50s or 60s the next time rankings come up.

Maybe I am remembering it wrong but I feel like discussion about classic blobbers used to be more active in general. Thats how I got into Wizardry and Might & Magic as some of my first classic RPGs. The feeling is reflected in this poll where most of the blobbers seemed to take a hit and are trending downward.

Genre is essentially dead so it's unsurprising the popularity is declining.

What makes you think that? A lot of people I know completed the game and on their 2nd or 3rd playthrough. I, for one, am on my 4th playthrough with the total of 650+ hours on it.
