Every year we hear complaints that the official GOTY awards show gets it wrong with how they hand out awards. Every year we hear gamers lament that those awards ‘don’t mean anything because they don’t reflect what gamers choose aside from the gamers choice award’.
Well… this year RDR 2 is voted as labor of love and starfield as ‘innovative’.
These are clearly ‘troll’ votes and memes, but many studios actually DO value these awards.
When game awards are handed out and controlled entirely by uninvested gamers the awards become jokes.
