Overall opinion on The Game Awards?

[Mike Straw]

In this week's Insider Gaming newsletter, I voiced my frustration with The Game Awards allowing an expansion to be up for Game of the Year. As a fan of sports and racing games, I also have a major problem with them continuing to be treated like the unwanted stepchild of gaming.

So I want to know from you all. What are your thoughts on The Game Awards? Do you actually care about the awards or only the trailers and previews of upcoming games?

I don't care about the awards. I just like the Game Previews. Golden Joystick awards are the real awards.

I do care somewhat, the only thing that is wrong is Elden ring SOET. It is a DLC and it shouldn't be there. As for FF7 Rebirth that game deserves a place because from FF7 to FF7 remake trilogy it has changed so much that it deserves a chance at GOTY, this trilogy is changing the story as they want so why not.

They bent the rules just to nominate a DLC. TGA is rubbish and never worth the hype

I don’t care about the awards as they mean literally nothing. I watch for the previews and “WORLD PREMIER”

Hard to call it the 'Game' Awards when we have DLC being nominated, taking the spot from a number of other well deserving games. Would it really be that difficult to have a category dedicated to DLC / Expansions?
