"The Real Game Awards" requires pay to vote, does this look legit or like a scam?

I'm pretty sure Craig's sidescrollers videos get posted here occasionally too. I would be pretty surprised if he was scamming.
That's fair enough, I have only incidental knowledge of sidescrollers through razorfist, not enough to trust them implicitly but that's personal choice for everyone.
I would say that someone being politically aligned with me doesn't preclude them from being dishonest or greedy, so I still have to maintain some healthy skepticism
I don't blame you for being skeptical. The reason I don't think he is scamming is because it would blow up everything else he does on youtube and whatnot. It would be a pretty small payout to destroy his credibility that he depends on for his "day job". He doesn't strike me as that short sighted.
The awards may end up being a shitshow because he doesn't know what he is doing, but it wouldn't be intentional.
If anything it's less scammy than "The Game Awards" or almost any other GameJourno (or any-Journo) stuff. It's up front, pay and get a vote.
I don't even know who were talking about, but has that ever stopped any other YouTuber?
