The Video Game Awards for 2023 (like every year) was a big nothingburger. Trailers highlighting how bad gaming has gotten worse not only with woke shit, but also the lack of gameplay in the majority of Western developed games and their trailers. It’s fucking awful.
Geoff Keighley desperately wants to become a Hollywood big shot and it’s really pathetic… But the thing is he is merely a reflection of the game industry at large and the talentless hacks who have taken over and want to make movies instead of games. Games media and Game Devs are complaining about the lack of focus on devs, and I just don’t give two shits about the plight of game devs.
They created this monster by being embarrassed of their own profession and transforming the industry into a complete and utter joke. They were all spineless cowards who allowed the woke plague to come in and ruin the industry at best, and at worst were completely complicit in the industry-wide brain drain and woke transformation of video games.
When I hear about studio layoffs, I just shrug because nothing of value was lost. When I hear about entire studios shutting down (in the West), I feel nothing, if not perhaps a satisfaction that these studios self-destructed.
I don’t care about these game devs, because I know they hate my guts and don’t actually care about video games.
The same mindset applies to the vast majority of indie games that are either made by dipshits who couldn’t make it in Hollywood and just see gaming as an alternative outlet to make movies, or woke leftists who don’t have a single creative bone in their body. The fun indie games are buried in a sea of lifeless/woke copycats and walking simulators.
This clown world has made me completely unsympathetic to the plight of most workers overall. Good job elites, your diversity and inclusion plan of division worked. I really don’t care about any of these people.
Sounds like if they get through to Geoff with this stuff, next years will be even more insufferable.
They'll go from ad heavy nonsense with the occasional reveal, to ad heavy nonsense with a bunch of people on stage that no one cares about. At least the memes later on about who they chose to go on stage and represent them will be hilarious.
It's about the games. Not the people. Hence "The Game Awards" not "The People That Made The Games Awards"
