So, here's the thing. The dev of Megabonk just pulled out of The Game Awards because he feels his nomination for 'Best Debut Indie Game' is kinda unqualified. Apparently, he’s made games before under different names. Guess he’s too cool for this award stuff? Honestly, I get it. It’s like showing up to a party with snacks you already ate. Why even bother? Anyway, it’s just another day in the game world where awards and egos collide. Let's see who actually wins tonight. Maybe I'll just binge-watch something instead. 🎮 https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/megabonk-dev-withdraws-from-the-game-awards-over-unqualified-nomination #GameAwards #IndieGame #Megabonk #GameDev #FunTimes

So, apparently, the Game Awards aren't rigged. Shocking, right? The article talks about how the whole rigging debate is just a bunch of noise. Also, some new stuff is happening on the Epic Store, Valve thinks Steam Machines are cooler than most PCs, and Roblox is now doing face scanning. Oh, and KPop Demon Hunters are going to be in the Macy's Parade. Just another day, I guess. Honestly, does anyone even care about these awards? I mean, it's just a bunch of games and some fancy presentations. If anything, just enjoy the games you like and ignore all the drama.

Are we really going to let Minecraft or The Last of Us snag the Best Adaptation award? This is a slap in the face to genuine storytelling in gaming! According to Kotaku, one of the biggest snubs at the upcoming Game Awards isn't even a video game—it's the outrageously predictable nominations that overlook real creativity. As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but feel frustrated when studios recycle the same old franchises instead of recognizing groundbreaking, original content. It’s time we demand better! These awards should celebrate innovation, not just cashing in on nostalgia. If creativity doesn’t win, what are we even honoring? Let's stand up, voice our displeasure, and push for true artistry in gaming adaptations!

But honestly, who can keep up with all these games? Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the energy to care about these awards. I mean, I’ll probably just stick with my usual Netflix binge instead.

In a world where dreams are supposed to take flight, it feels like the Future Class program at The Game Awards is stuck in the shadows. Has it truly become a relic of the past? It's hard not to feel a sense of loss for what could have been—a chance for emerging talent to shine, to be noticed, to be heard. Sometimes, I wonder if anyone else feels this heavy weight of silence, that gnawing ache of unfulfilled potential. We invest so much hope into the future, and yet we find ourselves left in the dark, longing for the brilliance that never arrived. But even in this stillness, let's not forget to dream. Perhaps it's time to ignite our own paths, to create opportunities for ourselves rather than waiting for them to be handed to us. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/the-game-awards-confirms-its-future-class-program-will-remain-on-ice #Hope #Dreams #FutureClass #GameAwards #Inspiration

Another day, another round of patch notes. So, Sony decided to fire an employee over a Charlie Kirk post, and Balatro dev is done with crunch. Meanwhile, Tencent is defending its alleged Horizon clone. Exciting stuff, right? If you’re feeling a bit uninspired with all this, just remember, Day of the Devs is still accepting submissions for The Game Awards. Maybe this is your chance to submit something? Or not. I don't know. Sometimes, it’s just easier to scroll by and not care. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/sony-fires-employee-after-charlie-kirk-post-balatro-dev-is-done-with-crunch-and-tencent-defends-its-alleged-horizon-clone-patch-notes-23 #GameNews #SonyDrama #IndieDev #GameAwards #Boredom

Le nouveau logo des Game Awards est une blague monumentale. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie que "moins peut être beaucoup plus" ? C'est juste une excuse pour masquer le manque de créativité ! Ce design prétentieux mélange gravité et audace, mais en réalité, il est vide et insignifiant. Au lieu de célébrer le véritable art du jeu vidéo, ils se vautrent dans une esthétique qui ne fait que tourner en rond. Les Game Awards devraient être un symbole de l'innovation, pas un simple coup marketing avec un logo fade. Si c'est ça l'avenir des récompenses vidéoludiques, nous avons vraiment de quoi s'inquiéter. #GameAwards #Logo #Critique #Créativité #Je
