I went over to Reddit so I could keep track if the game awards because I didn’t have time to actually watch it. Holy shit the hate E33 is getting is completely ridiculous, as Reddit does. Whether you go to the Silksong, KCD2, Death Stranding, Dispatch, Arc Raiders, or any other games subreddit that was nominated for any award about half the comments saying E33 is trash, overhyped, and their game deserved to win instead. As someone that has enjoyed all of these games, the salt is absolutely bonkers. Most of the ones complaining are basically saying “I never played it but I heard they did [blank] so they don’t deserve [blank] award.”

I just don’t get why they need to shit on other people and the games they like just because their game didn’t win. Shit on TGA all you want, but the fans and the devs literally had nothing to do with winning. They were all great games and all deserve praise in their own ways. In two weeks none of us will give a shit anymore anyway and will probably be complaining that “RV There Yet” wins the “Most Innovative Gameplay” award on Steam. I mean, a flippin’ gacha game won the “Players Voice” Award and people are spending their time shitting on objectively good games.

I’m so happy for them, the emotions this game brought to me were absolutely unique, its approach on grief was so beautiful. And can’t forget the music that I keep humming for the last months…

If you had ever seen the Game Awards before, this isn’t exactly surprising.

It was not only good, but weird and unique. It was always going to sweep the show because that’s exactly the kind of game the judges of it have favored every single year.

That’s why the good, but ultimately derivative games didn’t win as much.

Which is weird, since that game wasn’t even marketed. I literally hadn’t even heard of it till it started winning shit left and right
