That's all these things are. Some asshole's opinion, possibly paid for. The idea with "prestigious" awards is that observers feel that the recommendations made are good predictors of value, and trust them. Of course, hiring celebs, expensive looking production values and looking "official" is enough to buy the trust of many.
I pay some heed to these - I am more suspicious of anything that gets nominated.
The only game awards I watch these days is Worthabuy.
They're voted by the "officials" who are staff members. It's literally all just a big advertisement and propaganda.
Best Narrative - TLOU2.
This is shambolic. I wonder if the awards only go to woke companies.
"Narrative" in that context means adhering to The Narrative.
These people still think they are the counter culture. It's disgusting.
Another award for TLOU2. Best accessibility.
AOC's favorite won best multi-player game.
Wow.
To be fair, it's not like anyone's playing Fall Guys anymore.
Who tf plays Among us anyway? Shit got old fast.
Best Ongoing Game - No Man's Sky
The fuck? Who is picking these?
This, funnily enough, is probably one of the more reasonable ones.
Fixing a broken game does not equal regular content.
Should have been GTA V.
You've clearly never played it, it's had more free new content than dare I say any other game in the history of time.
It took a year to 'fix' it...since then it's just been substantial free update after another.
What happened to our game awards? We should do it, it can't be as bad as these.
TGAs were always bad. People have been shitting on TGA since before gamergate.
