ppl though Astro Bot rigged? wow I didn't even hear about that, the only controversy I recall hearing were ppl thinking Black Myth got snubbed because the director's kind of a weirdo
@Awesmic i love me some zzz (Evelyn and Astra look amazing btw) and but even I would be weirded out if it took goty
Astrobot is aight but it being the video game equivalent to Oscar bait is probably what catapulted it to victory over its contemporaries, oh well, not like the game awards matter anyway lol
The problem with the Game Awards is that it has become this established foundation of what game companies would strive for, which is both a good thing and bad thing. Astro Bot not being a gacha-based game by winning as a finished product and not consistently becoming money focused is perfectly ok and what the standard of most games should do, similar to Elden Ring.
