      Yeah, some people are funny that way. Hopefully that turd gets a complete shut-out just like at the Game Awards

      Edit: To those wanting to downvote please, oh freaking please, tell me in what ways Starfield has innovated on anything. And no, Bugthesda employees, I won’t be accepting “you don’t knkw what went into the creation of this product” as any kind of answer.

      Edit edit: hadn’t realised this post was for the results. God this is depressing. Wonder how many morons thought they’d get a canvas bag out of their wasted vote.

      Shadows of Doubt is so interesting and gets overshadowed by that. Damn shame.

        What an insult, right? The general public wouldn’t recognise innovation if it was shot into their faces with a railgun by Crapple Inc.

          It wasn’t until I briefly sold cars in University however many years ago, that I realized just how fucking stupid the vast majority of people really are, especially when they gather in groups. Like horrifyingly stupid. It explains everything, from global warming to the economy; from the ills of social media, global pandemics, to the rise and fall and rise of some of our more infamous world leaders.

          Once you realize that almost everyone around you is fucking basic at best, it all starts to make sense. I don’t mean this to come off as an arrogant tone either, it’s just literally the truth.

    As usual, the games that people mostly heard of win over anything that deserved it. RDR2 for “Labor of Love”? What a joke.

      Except for the obvious pick, I can’t say any of the picks here were right. Don’t get me started on the crapfest that is Starfield and the lissencephalic level of thinking it takes to call that pile of crap innovative which must have been given out by judges from Apple

      Surely bg3 would be labor of love for all the updates they’ve been doing non stop

    So, these “awards” are just bought out, right? I just don’t understand how anyone is expected to believe that people actually voted for these results. I can only assume money exchanged hands at some bot farms to put these AAA titles on the front page.

    Even if you want to make some weird claims about “popularity contests”, RDR2 taking the labour of love award over 4 live-service games that actually receive updates? If the vote is just mass visibility, I’d still expect Apex or the like to take it. And that’s ignoring the reality that it makes no sense for RDR2 to have even made the ballot in the first place. You expect me to believe that that’s one of the top 5 labour of love titles by open nomination? I mean, c’mon.

    Likewise, Starfield taking any award while it sits at 64% positive reviews overall, and 28% positive recent? You expect me to believe that the same consumer base that gave it those horrible reviews still voted for it as “most innovative” of all things? The idea that anyone expects us to believe these are the results of genuine human votes in the era of fake account traffic, purchased viewership and AstroTurfing is just insulting.

      If it was bought out, Lethal company wouldn’t have an award.
