i will never understand why people are okay with the Doritos Pope, literally the posterboy for the corrupt business ethics of games journalism, being allowed to spearhead the biggest annual event in games journalism

maybe the Oscar's would benefit by cutting out a lot of the fat, and fill them with world premiere movie trailers instead.

Based on the number of viewers I was seeing on steam's official feed as I was watching it (the one you have to watch in order to win said Steam Deck), it was actually a relatively tiny proportion of 100+ million. Unless the numbers I was seeing just weren't accurate.

I'd be willing to bet it got way more viewership elsewhere, like on twitch maybe. The vast majority of the viewership probably didn't even know about the Steam Decks, or weren't eligible to win one anyway.

They aren't. I don't know why people keep misusing what boomer means. Like 98% of boomers don't play video games. Boomers are like 70

Boomers are my parents. I'm sick of people misusing the term to just mean people older than them. Do you understand how annoying it is to grow up my whole life making fun of actual boomers and then suddenly kids call ME a boomer when I was born in 1981?

The last boomer was born in like 1959 or something. Boomers are the generation born of ww2 soldiers

the oscar's viewership numbers only count people who watched it through "ABC" telecast in the USA and the final figure is the average total live viewers. it does not count the number of people who only tuned in for like 1 second and leave. those types of temporary viewers are still counted in the VGA figure so not a fair comparison.

They are if you consider it a continuation of VGAs but apart from Geoff the two shows don't really have anything to do with each other
