No action game of the year
No fighting game of the year
No racing game of the year..

Not feeling the NY game awards tbh
I forgot NY game awards was even a thing. We always associate gaming with the West in the states since all the devs are out West or most in the states and the others of course are abroad.

"New York Game Awards"

Is there something exclusively gaming-related happening at New York that justifies having a games award named after the city?
Because otherwise it sounds a bit obnoxious, to be honest.
