I get voting for stuff you think shouldn't win is funny and all, but we're kinda sending the wrong messages here. Remember, the bigwigs of these gaming companies live in a completely different world most of the time. They don't see this win as a "joke". They see it as something to show to their shareholders.

If you have a choice between trolling a soulless multinational corporation that only responds to numbers on the one hand and shining a light on the amazing work some genuinely creative and passionate indie devs are doing on the other, never ever go for option 1.

Starfield innovated in new ways to disappoint us

[GameTimeWhy]

Meme or not Bethesda still got an award. Same with red dead. Wow we sure taught them.

6:15 you joke but devs having youtube channels is so great cause they clearly have so much love for the industry and want to share their experiences and help other game devs, personally love it

[Oi_Mate]

It's the Internet, I would be more surprised if the steam awards weren't trolled

Luke is outside of the WAN show, 2024 really is a new year

[CasepbX]

I find it hilarious how fast Bethesda took that bait. 🤣

[ZachHawkes]

"and everyone gave linus a trophy at work for being the tallest" a tweet by Luke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[marcinus]

Lots of loading screens in 2023 is some kind of innovation...

[Dunkskins]

Wow the laws that they were recommending in China are EXACTLY what needs to happen everywhere…

[lritzdorf]

Rock and Stone, miners! We'll get 'em next time ⛏️

(Context: Deep Rock Galactic, which truly is a Labor of Love, and has been nominated for several years now)

1:22 the subreddit is already completely unhinged lol, REJECT THE PILLS

[Sonic]

Man, that China story really proves the love of money is the root of all evil.

[Obieden]

SCS software deserves the labour of love for euro truck and american truck again

The problem with og Daggerfall isn't that you need an emulator (the Steam version runs automatically with dosbox or smth so its super-easy).
The problem is the clunky controls and rng hit mechanics, making sure you'll die many times in the first dungeon, which is a procedurally generated mess of endless, identical corridors. Just like every other dungeon in the game.
These are some of the problems addressed in the Unity version.

[triadwarfare]

For Red Dead Redemption 2, the game is so detailed, the amount of work hours done to make a living breathing single player environment's still much more than all live service games combined.

That Sky News reporter has never played Tetris. High level play requires superhuman reflexes.

[Kevin_Street]

Respect to Mr. Willis Gibson. Level 157 in Tetris! I never imagined it went so high. The reflexes to get there must be incredible.

China‘s ban on gambling mechanics is fair and we should follow this advice.
