Watched the Game Awards. Why is it so heavily dominated by horror (~35% of games announced) and violence (~85% of games announced)? Could you imagine a movie or film award having a similar ratios? It doesn't feel representative of the games market - or at least not the potential market. #gameawards

Well, it's good to see The Last of Us Season 2 isn't pulling any punches and that it is keeping up the tremendous acting and production, but I honestly don't know if this is the story I need in my life right now.
