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.

The "Indie Debut" award went to a game with a developer who's made at least two other games. Pizza Tower got robbed.
I would argue that if your "indie game" gets to debut on consoles, it was never an indie game at all.
You don't get on PSN or eShop without someone pushing you and your unfinished thing to decision makers.
I honestly think they were going to give it to Dave the Diver but the developers were adamant they weren’t indie.
Wait, cocoon won indie debut??
I guess the idea is to reinforce the identity of “the studio” rather than the actual developers who make the games. Wouldn’t want normies waking up to the reality that all of their favorite “studios” are staffed with woke diversity replacements who had nothing to do with the old games we loved.
