The Game Awards did, technically, give out awards, but it's often insulting the creators it's claiming to honor by sidelining them for celebrities and ads.
Yeah. Some people watch the awards for the trailers too. Like I’ll be honest, I don’t really care much about who won what at this point. As far as I’m concerned, as long as people like David “I don’t make games for f-ggots” Cage or Quantic Dream (David “I’m so misogynistic I drove Elliot Page out of the closet” Cage’s company) are still eligible to receive awards then the game awards don’t actually mean anything. I just like the trailers and was very excited about Sega’s announcement.
Edit: I’d read somewhere that Elliot Page said that David Cage was one of the contributing factors to him deciding to publicly come out as a trans man, or something along those lines, but I can’t find it now so I might be thinking of someone else?
I know David cage is problematic but what is that thing about Elliot page you are alluding to? I haven’t heard of that. Of course I know he was in beyond two souls so must have worked with cage but that’s the extent of my knowledge
Iirc Elliott credits David Cage with being such a horrifying misogynist that he decided to come out of the closet (he’s a trans man) so he wouldn’t have to deal with that again. The amount of effort and risk involved with being a public figure who is trans should drive home just how horrible of a person David Cage is.
Edit: I just looked it up and I can’t figure out where I read that. I may have been thinking of someone else? Regardless, David Cage is a massive misogynist and Quantic Dream is known for being an extremely toxic work environment.
