All 30 editors of PC Gamer are voting members of The CounciL
A body of games industry figures formed to select the games featured in PC Gamer's Most Wanted. The Council includes:
Contemporary & legendary game developers.
Gaming content creators from Twitch and YouTube.
Special-issue advocates within gaming.
Gaming voice actors.
Gaming hardware experts.
PC Gamer editors and fellow game critics.
Votes by The Council are tabulated using a proprietary algorithm developed based on a system called Bayesian averaging. We've taken care to assure this model does not produce a popularity contest. The Most Wanted algorithm takes into account how certain a game's release date is, for example, rewarding games that are imminent and unlikely to be delayed.
Based on their technical knowledge, and artistic impression of a game, and their own personal taste, voters judge unreleased games on a 1-5 point scale, abstaining from voting on any games they or their companies are associated with.
