    I decided I was done watching the game awards since it doesn’t seem to really align with what I want an awards show to be. I am curious if Dave the diver won though. With the backlash I would be a bit surprised if it did. The game awards always seems a bit reactionary. But then again that’s mostly to keep advertising happy, not the game developers.

      Sea of Stars took that one. I’m pretty sure the winners are voted on by the same panel that submitted the nominees, but I could be wrong. I guess they could have also changed their minds after the nominees were announced and the backlash happened.

        Yeah. Basically the people who pick the nominees vote, and the public is also allowed to vote and their results count as 1 vote. Its mainly game news outlets that do the nominees and voting
