Don't worry, when it fails to live up to the expectations they'll spend the next decade slowly adding some features. People will love them for continuing to do their best.

From their perspective, were they mistakes? They got our money

Unfortunately no one cares about game devs.

Worst part this year was that they allowed the people advertising stuff talk endlessly but an award winner talking more than 60 seconds? Blare that music and get them off stage

They had a giant display that counted down from 30 and then changed to “PLEASE WRAP IT UP”

MrScottyTay,

That’s awful

Don’t forget the raffles for viewers that were impossible to enter and only us zip codes were accepted in the brief moment that it worked even though several countries were listed as eligible

I’d like to note that the vote for “independent games” (i.e. games without a dedicated publisher) had only one actual independent game.

HonorIsDead, to games in Developers blast the celeb-laden Game Awards as 'an embarrassing indictment of a segment of the industry desperate for validation… with little respect for the devs'

It sucks because while the award has lost ‘prestige’ by becoming too much of a marketing gimmick it still obviously means a great deal to the teams that win. Maybe I’m too jaded on the topic but I can’t watch these kind of events anymore. Unaffiliated celebrities, shitty ad slots, can’t even hear the people your watching for talk for any length of time. For the viewers it’s kinda a shitty thing to watch live. Catch the highlights as they make their rounds on social media.

"Lost" implies it was not this at some point.

I mean, the TGAs, VGAs, Spike awards, whatever, have always have been this. Which is basically the MTV awards of gaming.

For what it's worth, the DICE awards are the ones where actual industry pros get to vote. Wihch doesn't make the results any more valuable, honestly, but at least the gala is self-congratulatory, as opposed to a thinkly veiled speedrun of what used to be the E3 keynotes.

CarlsIII,

I guarantee nobody complaining now has seen the original spike tv video game awards.

I’d love to read the article but this is as far as I got https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b3702947-989a-4d28-b77a-06161e18411c.jpeg

Reloading the page got rid of it but still wtf. Forcing me to leave your website and reload the page is idiotic.

JFC why use the internet at this point lol. I’d rather return to pigeons

Thanks for embedding the image so it interrupts the comments here, too. Very helpful.

Root-less adblock exists. Use it. It's nearly 2024, man...

Need to buy some Airpods to read the rest

PoTayToes,

How do people still live without uBlock Origin is beyond me.

Gonzo was cool though.

iheartneopets, to games in Developers blast the celeb-laden Game Awards as 'an embarrassing indictment of a segment of the industry desperate for validation… with little respect for the devs'

Honestly, good. Should have given them more time instead of Hollywood celebrities that, frankly, seemed embarrassed to be there. People watch the game awards to hear about gaming, not listen to Simu Liu, Matthew McConaughey, and Jordan Peele monologue with awkward jokes.

I wanna listen to the people I voted for talk about the projects they love and worked so hard on. That was a huge moment for the winners, and they were just shooed offstage like they were randos no one cared about. What a way to sour their moment.

wildginger, to games in Developers blast the celeb-laden Game Awards as 'an embarrassing indictment of a segment of the industry desperate for validation… with little respect for the devs'

It was really cool to see the awards do an homage to big gaming trends by doing an any% speedrun of the actual awards in between the ad breaks

conciselyverbose, to tech in Intel posts blatantly hypocritical marketing attack on AMD and then takes it straight down

Lol at "here's one chip that's new of ours to compare to one chip that's not of theirs".

The laptop space is a mess of shitty confusing labeling, and I would be all for some objective real world standard that manufacturers are required to label every computer with detailing performance at different types of workloads, power efficiency, battery life, whatever, so that general consumers have a chance to wade through all the bullshit. Would it be good if 7000 always meant the same thing? Absolutely.

But how long did intel sell low power envelope dual cores as i7s lol?

MiltownClowns, to games in Steam's second most-wishlisted game (The Day Before) puts out bizarre set of 'revelations' ahead of release: 'Please don't accuse us of scamming; that's not true'

A $40 game built by volunteers advertised as “not an asset flip” and “harder than it looked to make.” Easy game of the year contender.

This is basically the worse version of Division. Way, way worse.
