I think that a game that came out years ago shouldn't keep getting nominations just because it gets updates. Genshin should have won the popular vote in 2019 and nobody would have cared.

...and it’s official. Sonic is dead. He fought the great fight, but he was beaten down by a LOT of anime girls.

[down]Thanks for pointing that out.

...It's a fun award system. It means nothing at all.

But more accurately he got by a bunch of video game girls in a silly contest.

FYI, the award Genshin got wasn't even worth a single multi roll summon.

Well, at least Sonic the Hedgehog got nominated and that's a win in my book.

I think that a game that came out years ago shouldn't keep getting nominations just because it gets updates.

That's not really how live release games work, and it would be relatively unfair for the game to be ineligible to be recognized for its work put into it under those confines.

Genshin didn't "come out" three years ago in the same way other games do. Basically, how games like Genshin or Destiny or what have you work is that they release what is essentially a wireframe of the game initially, and then release what is effectively an entirely new game every year or so. For clarification's sake I've been referring to the releases as "expansions" in conversations like this, which is a suitable enough comparison since expansion packs, if large enough, have always been treated as eligible for awards just as main releases are.

Every major release for a game like this is comparable to a new release, and discounting that work would be significantly worse than the alternative.

Ya know Genshin Impact is one of those "Why are people being hyped up about free to play gacha game?" games to me tongue

I didn't watch the show, but are y'all sure the "after taking out the bots" line wasn't a jab at Elon Musk? Just the way I've read is sounds like it could've been a joke. And award shows love their shakey pop culture jokes.

Theory: That wasn’t a cyber version of Tails he ran into. He the thinks it was.

It was actually his Shadow, telling him to face his doubts in their usual unpleasant way. Anyone who has played a Persona game knows what I’m talking about.

I mean even for something like Player's Vote, two separate categories for single releases and ongoing titles probably makes sense, but that's so far down the list of the Game Awards' general issues anyway that I'm not really bothered.

TBH I only stayed up to watch the Gamewards for that Steam Deck giveaway thing and I didn't even win one so whatever.

LOL at Genshin players getting rewarded with absolutely nothing tho.

It was less about the awards and more "putting Sonic fans in their place" apparently.

Speaking of award shows if there was an award show for best Hedgehog the winner would probably a tie between Sonic and Shadow,maybe.
