    I fully believe that particular occurrence was just people blindly voting for the games they recognized. Tbh, I’d be more disappointed if it was a coordinated effort. Highlighting a smaller game that is is great would be exponentially more effective and beneficial than using the awards to complain about a game you don’t enjoy playing. The studios aren’t going to notice, and neither will most people (like me), so it’s really just wasted effort.

      Tbh, I did blindly vote for games I recognized or looked good in the screenshots/videos.

      Nah dude. Both cases are incredibly famous for what they were voted for. It was countless people shitposting. There were other, better recognizable games in there. Like Red Dead 2 is from 6 years ago.

        That’s what the “Labor of Love” award is supposed to be for: games that are older, but the devs have continued to support them as a passion project.

        Both of those games being ironically nominated for those awards is apropos.
