It’s the best show on television. Seriously. Like, they’re twelve seasons in and they still keep doing amazingly new and creative work and I don’t understand how it’s possible.
That said, I can see how some people might not be into the more meta seasons (8-10 specifically).
@humanity: The problem with the Game Awards isn’t the McDonalds and Uber Eats ads, or even past nonsense like Schlick Hydrobot. It’s that the entire show is an advertisement. It’s an awards show where the majority of the focus is on trailers for upcoming games and the awards are such an afterthought that they’ll have segments where they rattle off multiple award winners in a row with no time to process or celebrate the winners. For god’s sake, this is intended to be the industry’s highest honor and yet how many people care, or even know, that Breath of the Wild won Game of the Year? And yet seemingly everyone and their mother saw the Death Stranding trailer or heard about Bayonetta 3. The fact that Spike TV isn’t involved anymore is irrelevant because the vibe is the exact same - the awards are secondary to the new announcements by design. I don’t have much love for the Oscars, but at least they treat their awards with respect and don’t dilute it by shoving world debuts of trailers into the broadcast, because this would be akin to no one caring that Moonlight won Beat Picture this year because everyone was talking about the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer they premiered.
Suffice it to say, Josef may have acted like a lout, but he treated The Game Awards with the exact amount of reverence and importance that they treat themselves with, which is none.
