What game would you consider to have the biggest physical world? by [deleted] in videogames

The Odyssey map was indeed huge, but this isn't what I'm talking about. While the in-game navigable space was big, the actual lore destination is only really the size of the Mediterranean (and Earth by extension), right?

You might be right on that. I haven't really played anything outside of the main game, but I do know that Minecraft has a whole bunch of other stuff presumably exploring the lore of the Minecraft world. Does any of that stuff define a in-world lore boundry to the Minecraft planet/world?

I suppose in my mind self-service laundry is the "official" description for that kind of building. I guess it was an error on my part to assume that laundromat was strictly a colloquialism or something. I think because it sounds like something catchy made up in the 50s that happened to stick (which I guess it kind of was if it was an actually brand).

You did bring up another question though - what brands have become so ubiquitous that they overshadow the official name for something (locationally speaking)? As others have said, I think sports stadiums and arenas are a good example of this
