I have my personal issues with The Game Awards. To me, it’s nothing but a glorified advertisement with some awards thrown in to pad the time. There is more emphasis put on the announcements than the awards, and even then, the awards are pretty blah. For God’s sake, there was a walking Schickbot one year; it was a gross embarrassment of advertising run amok.
That being said, this old dog can learn new tricks, so long as those tricks involve good-guy-developers Obsidian announcing new games, which is precisely what is in store for us next week.
