The Witcher 3 has a tight grasp over 2015-2020. I imagine Cyberpunk will be the benchmark from 2020-2025.
People who are putting Dota up with the likes of WoW and Doom are literally insane.
I'd split this by 5 year increments.

The 2000s absolutely belong to GTA3 in this instance. WoW wasn't particularly influential outside of its genre in comparison to the open world explosion that just about everything has been touched by.

DTOA basically Popularized Esports which is the next big evolution that is happening in gaming. It also was a hugely successful of the F2P buisness model that permiates the industry.

Hmm, that's a good point. Doom was massive, yes, and immensely influential, but the same can indeed be claimed of SF2. Hrm.OP is wrong
90's belonged to this - this is what you saw everywhere , what your parents saw at the stores and what people knew on average. It spawned many companies trying to make the next one and the one that came close was MK. It also spanwed the 3d fighters etc as fighters were the shit
An overlooked game, but I think assassin's creed fits up there. Towers have been the open world template for better or worst for over a decade
70s: Pong
80s: SMB
90s: Doom or Mario 64
00s: WoW or GTA (Modern Warfare honorable mention)
10s: Minecraft
For 2010s I would say Skyrim, I mean look at the massive amount of open world games we are seeing those last years.
Asscreed can't compete with the GTA games that decade.
GTA invented the formula for most of the AAA games being made even today
Like someone else said, MOBAs didn't popularize esports. They became the most popular, but others came before.DTOA basically Popularized Esports which is the next big evolution that is happening in gaming. It also was a hugely successful of the F2P buisness model that permiates the industry.
Glorious answer sir. It pretty much spawned a console of games in SNK as well.While GTA3, WoW and MW all can have a claim to the most influence (and dosh) during the 2000's, the mere fact that GTA3 came out in 2001, while WoW in 2004 and MW in 2007 tips the scales heavily in GTA's favour. It's influence was felt (and continues to be felt) throughout the entire decade, unlike with the other two.
Thus, 00's go to GTA.
Hmm, that's a good point. Doom was massive, yes, and immensely influential, but the same can indeed be claimed of SF2. Hrm.
Plus it came 2 years before id's game, so yeah. SF2 takes it.
00's: Halo. Saved a console and gave Microsoft its foothold into console gaming.
I'd go with TLOU as well for the numerous forays into the cinematic, narrative-driven formula that's been popular among certain circles of the AAA/AA.
OP is wrong

Doom wasn't nearly as known no matter how much it pushed fps today. We are talking about in the decade.
This is the game of the 90's easily
You can't beat this. You consider your family, your friends parents etc What game did they know back in the day, yeah some of them were on doom but if you were a betting man what game would they say they know typically? Doom or SF2?
Can edit that in any time Op
Was GTA 3 influential or just the first of its kind? Honest question, I'm unaware of the ways it influenced other games, because 3D open world games were inevitable
Not sure about Minecraft. There hasn't really been a flood of successful games that are similar.
2000s Call of Duty
You do have a point, but did SF2 influence any games other than fighting games? Genuinely asking since I'm not sure. I know Doom influenced more than just FPS games through modding and advancing 3D graphics and such
But how do you get to TLOU without Uncharted?
Depends on how you look at it, it was spoofed in movies, jackie chan dressed as chun li in movies. You can have influence that doesn't directly relate to control or movements of course. Fireballs, many games copying some very basic ideas and structures such as type of characters or uses in games. There were fighting games before and there were 3d like shooters and rpg games before doom.
SF2 was not only more popular but more globally known as well. Not just the west but asia as well.

What has The Witcher 3 influenced? It's a great game but I haven't seen anything directly inspired by it.I'd split this by 5 year increments.

The best arguement is probably
SF2 >>> 3D Fighters >>> Character Action games >>>> Action games level controls as the expected standard in games across all genres.
Well you can argue all of those for Doom as well, copying character/enemy archetypes or spoofs, but I agree with the popularity argument, but I still think it should go to Doom overall personally, I do like that people have different opinions about it thoughDepends on how you look at it, it was spoofed in movies, jackie chan dressed as chun li in movies.

How has Street Fighter 2 influenced the industry more then or Doom or Super Mario 64.
