Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Sure Astrobot isn't GOTY material but they did make a speech about how this is a message that big AAA or AAAA titles aren't always automatically deserving of GOTY, and some of the big studios are forgetting that, tinking that you just have to pour money and pull huge expectations from it. It's praising indie mentality (although I don't think Astro Bot is indie at all, but I don't know shit about Astro Bot). I think there was at least one game that deserves the award more (personally I'm an FF7R guy, but you're free to pick your own) but I think the message is fine. Domino's, on the other hand, is just being a weirdo trying to ride on Internet heat for free advertising.
