Interesting article. For all we make fun of the Game Awards, a lot of game developers clearly do care about them.

EDIT: Also this tidbit about Elden Ring boosting in sales thanks to TGA.

I know we kinda razz on the TGA for being the dumb schlock entertainment awards show that it is, but I'm a firm believer that this sort of thing really does matter to the industry and I think it's good discussion fodder to have landed on an awards show that we consider to be like, canonical in the sort of way the oscars are - a similarly dumb schlock entertainment awards show. I'm glad we have it. Honestly, it's about as close to consensus GOTY choices as we're going to get - I think they do better than the oscars do at this.
