Why would you want extensive public participation in an award ceremony? If you want a popularity contest just look at sales numbers. What purpose do awards even serve if they aren't curated beyond validating your own preferences?

this is fair but then why hold a public vote at all when it has next to no chance of affecting the outcome anyway?

[-] Syntha@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that's a bit silly, for sure.

Seriously, just drop it then. They need to clarify their role.

Nicely said! I had the same feeling but just didn't know how to put it into words.

Awards are purchased

I mean Blades Gate 3 has all rights to be GOTY of the year, everyone has been calling it since it got out, but I'm 100% certain that less than 20% of the voters will have players all GOTY nomeene's. Hell Alan Wake got out two weeks ago. What I care a bit more is for things me coach's. I'm a CS2 player and I'm sincerely hoping Christine "Potter" Chi will win it, she was so dedicated, and gave her true best, I'm truly happy her team win and J don't even follow Valorant
