Original – A screenshot of the game Cultist Simulator that illustrates all of the elements in the game. For a listing of those elements, see the file description.
Reason
This screenshot from the game Cultist Simulator, released under a free license today, meets all of the FP criteria.It's at 1080p, the standard monitor resolution. It illustrates the article on the game in a compelling way (I deliberately chose a late-game screenshot, because being overwhelmed and having lots of cards to manage is part of the game experience), it is under a free license, it is used in the articles on the game, its author, and its publisher, and it's got a good description. If accepted, this would be the third time I secured a video game screenshot that went on to become an FP.

  • Oppose – Fails to convey useful visual information. Poor technical quality. Yawn. – Sca (talk) 12:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • You're going to have to explain that to me. It conveys what the game looks like, and I don't get what you mean by "poor technical quality". If you're talking about the odd perspective, that's how the game normally looks - as if you're hunched over a table looking at the cards.

Inconsistent color tones from top to bottom, murky, mediocre definition. – Sca (talk) 12:46, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Its too new and too much is happening in this image where you cant say what is clearly happening in it. GamerPro64 23:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I don't think all this criticism of the technical quality of the screenshot is necessary. As a screenshot of a game it is a completely accurate representation of what the game looks like, so in that sense it is of perfect quality. Where I think it falls down in the featured picture criteria is "3. Is among Wikipedia's best work". Is it really one of the best game screenshots that Wikipedia has to offer? Does it really "illustrate the subject in a compelling way, making the viewer want to know more"? I doubt it. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:36, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
