The Writers Guild of America (WGA) confirmed today that it is dropping the video games category from its annual awards until further notice.
In a statement to IGN, a WGA spokesperson confirmed that “There won’t be a Videogame Writing Award in 2020.” The WGA did say that the category may return in the future, however, “when there is a critical mass of video games covered by the WGA in order to provide a meaningful award selection process.”
The WGA Awards have had a video game category since 2008. Previous winners included: God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and The Last of Us.
