aaand once again the âofficial nominationsâ make me barf 
itâs like people donât even grasp the categoriesâŚ
Ubisoft and Bethesda on the âBest developerâ list are you shitting me royally?
PUBG is a buggy hacker infested money milking mess how can people still think itâs GOTY
and to put no manâs sky and gta V stains in the same category as Path of Exile and Stardew Valley is just straight up insulting to video games, âlabour of loveâ my arse 
once a gain people voted for what they âplayâ not whatâs actually fitting of the title/award category, -thank fck these awards mean nothing and i wonât have to go an entire year of being grumpy and feeling like Bad Rats got snubbed

Even though none of us are happy with the âofficial nominationsâ I do think we had a feeling it was comingâŚ
Thatâs why I am happy to be writing reviews for indie games, because they donât get as much attention and notice.

The fact that Bethesda managed to get not ONE but TWO titles on the VR space for $60 re-releases with zero polish and even content locks for owned content⌠thatâs abysmal.
This really just begs the question⌠do the voters in that category even own a VR headset?
I was expecting the votes to be way off as always, but this is just⌠a late, out-of-season April Fools joke.

The badge-earning system does push people to vote for VR even if they do not have one. Not to mention that people tend to just vote for whatever they like without thinking much of the category/context. So the result is not surprising.

CD Project Red and Klei are acceptable options. I was having problems though as the site wouldnât accept that particular vote, every other one registered without issue.
Even now, it has accepted my vote but it says I voted for âuninitializedâ. Somethingâs wonkey for sure.
Best alternate history was the hardest one as there was almost only trash on offer. Environment had a few acceptable choices though.

yea but they chose to not finish cyberpunk 2077 for a 2018 release so really donât think they should get an award for deciding for a release âTBAâ 
(i mean how hard/long can such a gameâs development process be, itâs been over 3 months already comn already!) 
agree so much, i caved and submitted to Wolfenstein because despite bethesda and probably a mediocre game(assumption without playing), at least it lets you blow away nazis with dual shotguns, and thatâs always sorta okay

I will close my eyes and hope I can pick the least crap out of everything without launching like tons of apps on my compute 
I donât see a better way for this⌠and actually Iâm going blind by just looking at the nominees

these are my choices, & i agree with @Fraggles âBest alternate historyâ was one of there harder choices but i heard Civ VI is a pretty good game so i voted for them.

The fact that they force everyoneâs votes into place is a system that will be designed for failure, or at least leaned towards the more popular titles instead of maybe better ones, I think. Once again, that VR category is hinky, everyoneâs going to vote, whether they have VR or not. And why canât we put in write-in titles for these, like we should be able toâŚ

Only two of my nominations were elected, none of them was of the ones I was really wanted to be there, lol

the main problem (besides that âpopularityâ issue) is how the awards nomination page worked/works,
you couldnât even give proper credit to those that made X game
since if a developer didnât have a âPublisher pageâ you coudlnât even nominate them, and if like in FromSofts case with Dark souls you are the dev of a game, you get âtiedâ to Namcos publisher page and it gets listed as âBandai Namcoâ for best dev,

I was trying to type Team Cherry in during the nominations time, but it wouldnât work⌠I was sadâŚ

exactly they were my choice too, i had a couple of indies that didnât work because they didnât have a publishers page too, and other stuff just got tied to publisher like in the case with FromSoft
