All this proving once more that The Game Awards is nothing more than a hollow advertisement, designed explicitly for profit. It's not here for acknowledging cultural achievement, improving the industry or celebrating workers.
We should really stop glorifying this event as a 'celebration of games'.
I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since

pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more
EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.

The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

The Grim Reaper's tendency to dance around the bullseye can get really annoying.
I've seen enough. The Switch is the most shipped hardware in Nintendo history.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

Thinking about "the Pokemon discourse" again and how the idea that "Pokemon makes a lot of money so it needs to be more AAA" remains an indescribably dumb idea.

My old Nova Scotia ass watching this Game 7:
Second time I went to see a team in person and they lost the league championship in seven games.

This one stings a hell of a lot more than Edmonton did in 2006.
