Holy shit, I actually watch one of the content creator nominees. That rarely happens.

I think Ironmouse may be the only one people in general are vaguely familiar with, based on the reactions to it online.

I have actually heard of two of these people for once (Ironmouse and Quackity). Of course, I'd definitely support Ironmouse over Quackity because she's truly an inspiration.

Yeah of all the people I follow, Ironmouse's the only one I'm familiar with for the award.

Is this the first time a Vtuber has been up for it? Or perhaps the first year Content Creator is even a category?

I don't doubt the legitimacy of the category, though. Gaming communities and livestreamers are a mainstream part of the landscape.

People are going to be really surprised when Alan Wake II sweeps. Reviewers loved it, while general audiences don't seem to be aware it exists

So, usual problem of the same handful of games being nominated for all the major categories regardless of whether they really fit

I'm surprised that there's a content creator nomination. Is this the first time they did this? Well anyway, my vote goes to Ironmouse since I actually watch her content!

This is the first time content creator included someone I actually know

All hail Tokusatsu embassador Ironmouse.

@ Multiplayer: I actually think it has more to do with the uniqueness of a narrative-driven turn-based RPG having such smoothly integrated multi-player. It's something Larian's been doing for awhile sure, but Counter-Strike has like 500 clones releasing a week. BG 3 is the first time plenty of people have experienced something like that.

Plus the four-man halfling barbarian team video was awesome.

I think the difference here is that general people who have played Alan Wake II think it's good, so if it wins a bunch of awards there will probably be less sweeping statements about the video game industry and    the west    :p

Happy to see Hi-Fi Rush has managed to snatch up multiple nominations, even if it is unlikely to win any of them.

And yeah, cont me in among those who only recognize Ironmouse among the content creators. Rooting for her to get that win.

People Make Games are primarily longform documentarians who are doing some real, genuinely good investigative journalism and editorials on the gaming industry which makes putting them up in the same category as a bunch of streamers and such feel a bit unfair. I'm rooting for them since their work deserves to be recognized but I'm not confident.

They're up against one of the most popular American Vtubers (Ironmouse) and a member of Dream's squad who is fairly prolific outside of that bubble apparently (Quackity), so I wish them the best of luck.

[up][up] The problem is that "content creator" is just that broad a category, since both PMG and the ferrous rodent fall under that umbrella. Maybe at one point they'll be split up, but alas.

Yeah, I've never seen a creator I follow nominated in that category either.

Granted, its a viewpoint from a specific gaming genre, but Max Dood should really get nominated one of these days.

I've watched a couple of videos by PMG, but I wouldn't say I actively follow them. They did some really good videos about Roblox's use of children as unpaid developers, and they have a bunch of videos that go outside video games into games in general, discussing types of games and competitions you've never heard of before.

I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't a "Best Visual Novel" category. There's been a lot of fantastic visual novel games released this year.

But aren't the winners voted by the audience?

My understanding is that the audience has some wait, but more of it is determined by a panel of judges

This year already has two major controversies:

Octopath 2 getting completely snubbed (several journalists have already called this out).

Genshin Impact being User Game of the Year AGAIN despite coming out in 2020. We all know what that fandom willing to do for in game currency amirite?

Three major controversies, actually; there's also the "Best Indie" category.

Honestly if those are the "Major controversies" I kind of feel we're sailing pretty smoothly.
