Nominating Stalker 2 for Most Innovative Gameplay Award seems crazy to me. It’s a great game, but I definitely wouldn't call it innovative.
Came here to comment the same. I love the game but those mechanics are 17 years old.
It has always been a "Which game has the bigger fan base" contest 🤷♂️
I don't think I ever agreed with the nominations or the the final winners, because they never make any sense other than through the hype and fan-base lens.
I agree with this comment so much that my dumb ass tried to upvote it twice forgetting I already did
Occasionally good games get nominated for the correct categories (Terraria for Labor of Love) but it's very rare. I haven't even played any 2024 games but wanted the badge so I just nominated some off brand games that will never win.
