I mean there are other video game award shows so why does this matter? People are acting like this is the only one in existence. If you don’t like the way they do things don’t watch and give your viewership to a different show.
So people can't comment on something being whack because there are alternatives.

You could not watch TGA for awards at all, and still feel like the awards section was bad.


Why are y'all defending something that's clearly flawed and or can be improved.

It's even stranger when the person that runs it is admitting their handling was a mistake.

It's two nikkas ignoring reality and literally speaking to themselves while ignoring everything else.

How have you never heard of Sam Lake when he was literally the face of Max Payne and the director of the studio that made the game? I guess you haven't heard of Mark Vanderloo either?

Lol I played the hell out of that series and don’t recognize that name. Don’t know who that Vanderloo is either.

Been gaming my whole life and only directors I know off top are Miyamoto, Yu Suzuki, Kojima, David Jaffe, and Cliffy B. Oh I knew the Valve guy as “that fat white guy”, if that counts.

Over 6 million people watched The Game Awards just on the official YouTube Channel. The DICE Awards you have to go to IGN's channel for the most watched stream and it wasn't even 50K.

What I'm saying is there are award shows right now that hold their show and it's cut and dry people announce awards and the devs get on stage and make a speech and that's it. Nobody really cares. Nobody really watches.

The reason TGA got to be so successful is because it's a giant commercial where the awards take a backseat to advertising and promotion. So yeah Gizmo Duck is absolutely right the criticism is laughable. If they played it straight nobody would even be talking about it.

Nah at it's core TGA is being criticized for being an ad and has been so for years. That's not to say the show doesn't make mistakes that's to say people shytting on it for being what it is instead of focusing on the awards are laughable when there is existing proof audiences are meh on that.

That’s how sony stan’s roll

nikkas crazy :huhldup:

Lmao, shyts redundant. nikkas taking things to extremes and think we're asking for 5 min speeches when everybody's main complaint is give them a lil bit more time than 30 fukking secs. Nobody is upset it's an advertisement fest or any of that bullshyt.

For all the praise BG3 was getting, it's kinda surprising to see at least one of the bigger champions of it be so blase about them not even being able to properly honor their dead coworker and appreciate their 6 year journey.

Like Geoff himself is aware of it being weird but no, it's literally everyone else tripping

It's even more ironic that at least 2 of the people in this thread didn't like when MS said the same thing about the Xbox one :wow:

"There a console for you"😤😡

"There's an award show for you" 🤝👍

nikka, literally none of the quoted posts in the OP are upset about it being an ad. None of the tweets responding to Geoff were upset about it being an ad. All nikkas were asking is to give them more than 30 secs and not to cut them off mid speech with loud ass music and a big ass sign.

The IGN article isn't even upset about it being ad.

It's you two being fukking obtuse about what people are saying; nikkas tune in for the premiers and trailers of course, but that doesn't detract from EVERYONE noticing how sudden speeches were cut.

Find me one tweet in the OP that's upset it's an ad or asking for 5 min speeches.

Hell, Parris and a few others just said extend it by 30 mins and give them all like a min and a half. You got shorty from Horizon basically saying the same shyt lmaoooo

In the year with some of the biggest and most widespread layoffs and studio closures, where a CRPG won GOTY, y'all nikkas are defending them being cut off so Geoff can make stupid ass jokes with a muppet that nobody remembers and everybody thought was awkward.

Nah thst was trash too. People want to see trailers not random nikkas rambling. No body care about random npc devs outside of hardcore gamers. 1 minute is enough for an acceptance speech

So we're all in agreement that the 30 secs wasn't enough then.
