Everyone already knows how the Game Awards are chosen. There are other gaming awards that are selected through popular choice, if that is somehow a "not rigged" system.

If you're someone who feels passionately about game awards, that's great. However, many people are only watching TGA for game trailers.

But this time it includes sites that has nothing to do with gaming like pride etc

How can they get in?

Anyway why gamers here attacking grumz? Hes the guys exposing these stuff

And hes not the only one spoke about this, why only attack him and ignore the others

The selective hate is getting really suspicious

Yeah.. This isn't exactly a secret. The pretentious twats in the so-called gaming press basically rule the day. Don't expect anything they find problematic etc. The only surprise to expect is retarded shit. (see cases like 'gone home' years back and "games" nobody gave two shits about, to get any non shill spots)

Because Pride.com reviews video games, and the jury is basically just a collection of gaming media and influencers. We can see based on inclusions like Wall Street Journal that these outlets do not have to be exclusively gaming focused.

The jury selection team likely felt it appropriate to have a panel of judges with a diverse collection of perspectives on gaming.

Always has been.

Grumzz only noticed now because it concerns his culture war, but the VGA always was steered and influenced by certain companies in the past.

Thats only like a fraction of their part

The entire sites was built to push lgbt narratives

Theres plenty other sites like gamespot etc that are more dedicated for gaming that should be more representable for the game award

I clicked the link, its a gay culture site that does game reviews among other things. There's a zillion outlets that each get one vote in the TGAs, having them there is no more having it rigged than, say, having all of those foreign language sites is rigging it towards a game from one of their countries or having all of the console-specific sites is rigging it towards their console. I attacked him because he's the person cited in the OP, you did actually read it, right?

edit: Oh, "read the OP", I guess you actually are the OP. I dunno, buddy, maybe I responded directly to the thing you posted.

Do you agree with me if i say that popularity and fame made you easy target for hatred or envy around here

Like when you only attack grummz and ignore the other guys reporting the same thing

Well, it is called Pride.com, so you'd sort of anticipate content created or enjoyed by the LGBTQ+ community would be featured on their outlet.

Theres plenty other sites like gamespot etc that are more dedicated for gaming that should be more representable for the game award

Gamespot is likely in there, along with IGN, PCGamer, Eurogamer, etc.

The jury has over 100 voting participants, and they change each year, though major gaming outlets are usually a staple. The selection panel likely chose this outlet specifically because it does not exclusively focus on gaming. The intent being to have a more diverse set of perspectives on what qualifies a game as "Game of the Year."

At the end of the day, if they truly wanted to rig the awards to push an agenda, they wouldn't bother with selecting diverse jurors. The voting is all submitted anonymously, so they would just fake the numbers. Or, even more directly, they wouldn't bother with voting at all. They'd just give it to whomever they wanted.

They are rigged but not in that sense. Elden Ring DLC is eligible for GOTY so it will fracture the vote between Astrobot and FF7R.

They won't let a PS5-exclusive win.

Just have a look at some of those sites




Doesnt look like a site that dedicated for gaming neither should represent gamers opinion on the best videogame this year

Do you not know what the LA Times or Variety are? Those are absolutely acceptable sources for this.

Dude, he's the guy in your fucking post. He absolutely is viable as a target for my posting seeing as so much absolute bullshit goes through his account. Don't fucking post something if you aren't able to defend it.
