Game Awards lost any credibility at this point. Black Myth Wukong truly deserved the grand prize. I played the game and I believe it, both the concurrent steam players and sales numbers confirm it as well
It never had any credibility, no awards show does. It's always a way for the richest and most powerful of an industry to jerk themselves off.
Well is not a popularity contest, so sales number and number of players doesn't count to the award, they won the player voice award that is a popularity contest.
The game awards is just an advertising show. I don't understand why anyone watches it.
Like any awards show, the awards are completely subjective anyway, so it's completely pointless to even care about them, it's not like an old gaming magazine's recommendations.
Then it should be called "The Advertising Show" instead
I agree, but people wouldn't willingly watch that :D
