And the Game Award for Best Debut Esports Performance Direction by an Anticipated Human goes to...

The categories are fucked, the celebrity guests are inevitable, and the premieres are world.

Stand out oddity for me is Dave the Diver being nominated for Best Indie despite being developed by a subsidiary of Nexon.

idk much about dave the diver but i’ve been convinced all year that it’s a big part of everything wrong with the industry

I think they have fairly successfully buried this despite the fact you can find it out with one google search

honestly it’s a pretty shit spread Alan Wake 2 deserves like half the awards based entirely on how bad the competition is. Lol that FFXVI is in “best narrative” as if it won’t go down in history as a clown game. I also laughed at Cyberpunk 2077 being listed along like, actual MMOs for best update support

the only time i voted for ffxvi was for the soundtrack because soken is the hardest working composer in games

For the cost of sending an e-mail, we can vote for Shin Maygami Tensei: Nocturne. Shin Maygami Tensei: Nocturne would never take advantage of our innate gullibility.

haley read those indie noms off to me yesterday and i thought she was fucking with me at first, theyre all very funny in their own way (special shoutout to viewfinder for being nominated in the same indiecade category as us as also losing) but im mad about dave the diver all over again seeing it this morning. I got into so many arguments over that game and i remember one specific dumbass saying “its not like its trying to market itself as an indie game, they probably just chose those graphics to cut down on costs” and fuck you specifically guy
