Award shows have been on the way out for well over a decade, and have been purely marketing tools for even longer.
More importantly, the devs who got their games nominated likely saw sales spike, which means more players enjoying the things they created, and they were properly compensated for their work. That means way more than a BS award that sits on a shelf.
It’s “undermining gaming” to give award show results so much weight when we know how biased they are.
Gonna wait for performance info at launch, and grab if it runs well. There’s basically no point waiting for professional reviews, since it’s such a love-it-or-hate-it gameplay loop. I really liked the first one (doing a replay now), so unless it comes to light that it’s now a MG:Survive clone or something, I should be alright 🤷
