It was trash. Had a good smattering of “mah representation”, boring announcements, back handed comments to some winners, and a shit ton of ads. Probably more ads than award ceremony. Same 6 games were on the majority of the categories and all but two games should have just been removed: Baldur’s Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2. Thankfully, they gave Armored Core 6 best action game. Big announcement was a new Monster Hunter but it’s won’t be out until 2025. Only really watched for the trash talking from StutteringCraig and Yellowflash.

I was going to have it on for free Twitch drops, but didn't give a shit enough to watch.
THAT'S how much I value it, free shit can't make me even have it on in the background.
Was the free shit even worth it? I tried the drops when it started and found the stuff just boring so I started ignoring it.
Depends on which games, some are just tedious like Smite having to have 4 hours of viewership to get some dam tokens
Others are worth it at times like getting a unique skin or character for free.
This is why the game industry is in the state it is.
Quit being willing to put up with this shit. It wasn't always this way.
This. I play Sea of Thieves and refuse to watch some faggot on twitch for hours to get a new spyglass skin.
The guys I play with are like "I just let it run in the background and don't pay attention". I'm not going to participate in that farce. I'm not sure how people are profiting from this, but someone is getting money from all this fake viewership.
It also feeds into this gay "internet personality/influencer" culture that is so toxic to our society. I refuse to contribute to some 40-year-old soy boy faggot living in his parent's basement and playing video games as an occupation. Or worse: help that same fag make more money than people with honest jobs.
I also recently found out that people are reselling this shit on eBay for like 50 Twitch items for $2, so even if I really cared about that stuff and had to have it, I would rather spend a tiny amount of money than spend hours fake watching people on Twitch.
I'm on a freemium spree, I haven't bought dlc in years i think the last one was Fallout 4 or Witcher 3 so yeah that long ago, if it's not included with the original game price I don't get it.
As for that, I already have Amazon Prime so try to milk as much for the service as possible.
