What the hell kind of category is "Most anticipated game"? So they literally give a prize to the marketing department of something that wasn't even released yet and will potentially suck balls?

Huh, I'm getting the feeling I've already said this... And probably also something about the stupid prizes for teams and coaches - you're either evaluating the artistic value of the games or you're making a sport event, both together sounds really stupid.

dschult3 - Haha, that's gold. And they brought it on themselves: why even have an "indie" category? Imagine if the Oscars had a "best movie" and then a "best movie, but poor" categories: the second one is condescending; it would show that the movies aren't being evaluated by their artistic merits and an indie project can't be considered as good as a high budget one, as if only high budget stuff could be considered good (when it's mostly shit).

I mean, the Oscars are also ridiculous, but at least they try to keep the façade of being a serious awards show that evaluates artistic merits of the chosen movies. The Game Awards is almost a parody of it.

That said, we're close to our own awards! I'm thinking about creating the thread around 12/10.
