How would you feel if the game awards told bro gamers to screw off and decided to give GOTY 2018 to

I'd feel indifferent because I do not give the tiniest shit about computer game popularity contests.

Could not care less about game awards if you paid me.

If those are the nominations for 2018, everybody better brace themselves for a pretty mediocre year for gaming.

Though Pillars of Eternity 2 will save the year for RPG fans.

HD Okami or backwards compatible Psychonauts.

Cassandra speaks the truth

Wasn't the indie game that dealt with mental illness nominated? Setsuna's sacrifice (I think thats the name).

But yea, get some independent judges going, make it so the games have to have been out for at least 3 months, and you need at least 2 indie nominations in each category (the only exception being if there is no indie game made in that category). Also, set a standard that defines what an indipendent company actually is (for example, a company with fewer then...500 people working for it in total. Or games that cost less then $500k, ect.).

Because, right now, I don't think the awards are anything but a joke. Something to make publishers feel special, instead of actually awarding it to games that deserve it. I mean, they are giving awards to games that aren't even out yet! Yea, I don't pay attention to them at all.

Never heard of Celeste.

I guess I'm a bro gamer.

I don't eat in any of my cars.
