It is especially funny because despite all that b***hing gamers also uncritically eat up literal shit. Companies could not knowingly release broken products and get away with it from year to year in any other profit driven industry, but in vidya it is business as usual.
The "any other profit driven industry" you're referring to targets adults. With games there's always going to be a new naive little timmy every year for the corporations to fool. Unlike the adult world, 10-year-old naive little timmies put more value on the advertisement they saw than on the word of mouth so you can't convince them not to beg mommy to buy the product with a flashy ad by telling them that it's going to be a shit product.
a lot of these industry parasites try to carve out a foothold for themselves by "championing" the rights of the poor downtrodden developers
so all this pearl clutching is just an extension of that
Honestly I think that may have been part of the reason why the speeches were so short this year.
Can't have a bunch of people criticizing israelites or praising Palestine in LA or else they'd never allow Geoff to use that venue again.
>"Thanks homie, Aight.."
Figured this would be the controversy people would actually give him shit for I thought it was funny
>maybe if they cut out all the dumb shit award winners would have more time to talk
Maybe they should cut down Kojima, Murray and Mackie shilling and rambling about nothing for 20 minutes and there will be enough time for awards and appropriate speeches.
because even the journos are tired of this pathetic corporate marketing shill. the dorito pope is finally getting his day of reckoning
expect the game awards 2024 to be cancelled
Spike was a poorly run network, and they wanted to get away from dudebro before they became Paramount. I think they did a year or two of “VGX” before cancelling it all.
They let all the actors blabber on for as long as Christopher Judge did last year, but they'll play off devs who won awards after 30 seconds before playing phone ads for 2 minutes.
>kojima and his jogger friend get 10 minutes to market their cinematic movie game title >Larian get 30 seconds to accept their award for GOTY >Matan doesn't even get a chance to walk on stage
The priorities are entirely focused on the marketing side of the event. the awards and the cringe are just there to pad out time and make it seem more "legit"
The awards are part of the marketing. Get people talking about these AAA games from earlier in the year (and indies with big, well-connected publishers), conveniently just in time for christmas shopping
he loves video games as in the industry and the medium, there's also no better event to talk shit about or shitpost during than Summer Game Fest and TGA stickies
Eh, I usually don't care, but telling people to wrap it up while they're giving thanks to their dead colleagues really is a shitheel move, I'm not surprised by the reaction.
you don't have to deeply and truly care to think this is a fricked up move, thanking dead people on your team that worked on the game that just won an award is like number 1 one of the things you would be an butthole for cutting off
>trailer with no real gameplay footage finishes >Geoff comes out and mentions how he got to play the game months ago and it was so good
Real "my dad works for Nintendo" energy
Before the awards >FRICK the awards, just show us the trailers
After the awards >wtf why didn't they let no name developers ramble on for 5 minutes
Never change Ganker
>also >letting the guy who spoke for 7 mins last year speak for nearly as long but it just being "remember when I did it last year?!?!?!!
I've always been saying the trailers should frick off and it should just be the AWARDS at the game AWARDS.
Have another show for game announcements, have it be a two day event or something.
>See article >Watch some of the awards >"My dads dead BUY MY GAME" >"This goes out to the gay people who suffer eternally in turmoil in our society....." >"As a black latinx immigrant myself" >"My new game has generic thing and stuff" >"Haha remember last year when I spoke about fricking anything for nearly 8 minutes"
People want the longer versions of this?

its become worse than E3 at this point, not only are they letting the celebs ramble on but we get less info about games. Like why the frick was Anthony mackey allowed to yell at the crowd and promote Twisted Metal season 2? nobody fricking cares
The Mackie thing was wild. At first I thought he was coked up or the teleprompter wasn't working. He was replying to every fricking shout from the audience. Literally what was he thinking?
because they like making people as miserable as they are
games journalists deserve the rope
right alongside troony jannies, homosexuals, and pedophiles (though those three usually overlap)
Did you watch the event? Celebrities got to go on and on with their shit speeches and unfunny jokes but devs accepting awards got 30 seconds. It was the celebrity awards not the game awards.
Because the marxists that won GOTY thought it was a good time to eulogize one of their homosexual co-workers during their speech. Geoff should have known communists don't know how to shut the frick up.
>Are game journos just stupid and incontinent or something?
its been this way for about a decade now. Being labeled a Game journalist is basically having a mental disability
Why are people given time limits? I thought the show was entirely online. If that's the case, they should hypothetically have as as much time as they want and still be able to play all the advertisements because they don't need to care about another show coming up. I get that winners should keep it brief, but I don't think a ~3ish minute acceptance speech is a lot for an online show. Hell, if they dragged it on longer, they could probably put up even more ads and make more money.
>Why are people given time limits?
The show was already like 3½ hours long. If everyone was able to blabber on for 5 minutes, it would become 4½ hours long.
>I thought the show was entirely online
They are in the Peawiener Theater in LA.
It is the Current Controversy and capitalizing on current controversies drives engagement and makes people click on your news more.
I don't think there is a single community that b***hes more regularly about inconsequential shit than the vidya community
It is especially funny because despite all that b***hing gamers also uncritically eat up literal shit. Companies could not knowingly release broken products and get away with it from year to year in any other profit driven industry, but in vidya it is business as usual.
Stop referring to all of the homosexuals who line up at the AAA slop trough as "gamers". They're casuals.
>Ganker - Casuals
The "any other profit driven industry" you're referring to targets adults. With games there's always going to be a new naive little timmy every year for the corporations to fool. Unlike the adult world, 10-year-old naive little timmies put more value on the advertisement they saw than on the word of mouth so you can't convince them not to beg mommy to buy the product with a flashy ad by telling them that it's going to be a shit product.
Wrong board
a lot of these industry parasites try to carve out a foothold for themselves by "championing" the rights of the poor downtrodden developers
so all this pearl clutching is just an extension of that
I'd say it's because he's a dumb homosexual, but they usually seem to like that
Not that I've seen any evidence of this happening.
Didn't allow any unsolicited opinions on Israel
Honestly I think that may have been part of the reason why the speeches were so short this year.
Can't have a bunch of people criticizing israelites or praising Palestine in LA or else they'd never allow Geoff to use that venue again.
Figured this would be the controversy people would actually give him shit for
I thought it was funny
The dev's name was Dinga or some shit, so I understand the slip of the tongue
maybe if they cut out all the dumb shit award winners would have more time to talk
>maybe if they cut out all the dumb shit award winners would have more time to talk
Maybe they should cut down Kojima, Murray and Mackie shilling and rambling about nothing for 20 minutes and there will be enough time for awards and appropriate speeches.
>let celebrities go on stage and ramble for as long as they want
>play reward recipients off that stage after 15 seconds
RUN THE FRICKING CLOCK, GEOFF
mad that someone who isnt at least outwardly, an insane leftist is getting attention.
because even the journos are tired of this pathetic corporate marketing shill. the dorito pope is finally getting his day of reckoning
expect the game awards 2024 to be cancelled
The Spike VGAs lasted 10 years as well before shutting down due to a lot of the problems the TGAs are having right now.
Spike was a poorly run network, and they wanted to get away from dudebro before they became Paramount. I think they did a year or two of “VGX” before cancelling it all.
>the dorito pope is finally getting his day of reckoning
hilariously enough it's the second time it's happening to him.
They let all the actors blabber on for as long as Christopher Judge did last year, but they'll play off devs who won awards after 30 seconds before playing phone ads for 2 minutes.
>kojima and his jogger friend get 10 minutes to market their cinematic movie game title

The TGA's are worse than E3 but I don't miss E3.
The awards are part of the marketing. Get people talking about these AAA games from earlier in the year (and indies with big, well-connected publishers), conveniently just in time for christmas shopping
>"Thanks homie, Aight.."
I lost my shit
They'll change nothing next year. This is all a farce. Nothing ever changes. It only stays the same, or gets worse.
Growing up is realizing Dorito Pope is based
he was
now he's just in for kojima to buttfrick him and nothing else
Dorito Pope when he was shilling Mt Dew and Doritos was an actual low but he loves video games.
name 1 (one) game this shill actually, genuinely, honestly and authentically enjoys and isn't talking about as part of a shill campaign
There's no way you can explain the Kojima dickriding with anything other than a kind of genuine admiration.
he loves video games as in the industry and the medium, there's also no better event to talk shit about or shitpost during than Summer Game Fest and TGA stickies
nearly every valve game? he wrote the final hours series for their games.
I skipped the kojima dicksucking. Cringe.
Eh, I usually don't care, but telling people to wrap it up while they're giving thanks to their dead colleagues really is a shitheel move, I'm not surprised by the reaction.
>dead colleagues
nobody cares. anyone who does is just pretending
I'd rather listen to someone sincerely shouting out a dead colleague vs ayo my man kojima invented camera, this new game is finna change everything
Is respect just a foreign concept to you?
you don't have to deeply and truly care to think this is a fricked up move, thanking dead people on your team that worked on the game that just won an award is like number 1 one of the things you would be an butthole for cutting off
Sociopathy is a mental illness, sane people do not feel the same as you.
>sane people do not feel the same as you.
the loss of talent is always a tragedy
it's why we're in this mess in the first place
Next TGA will be a constant streaming of celebrities talking about Kojima.
>trailer with no real gameplay footage finishes
>Geoff comes out and mentions how he got to play the game months ago and it was so good
Real "my dad works for Nintendo" energy

>"Haha remember last year when I spoke about fricking anything for nearly 8 minutes"
People want the longer versions of this?
I watched the awards this year and there seemed to be a lot less of that, just a single game about being a poo in Toronto.
They still haven't figured out it's the end of the year E3 that pretends to be an awards show.
LMAO
>PLEASE
oh man thats good.
its become worse than E3 at this point, not only are they letting the celebs ramble on but we get less info about games. Like why the frick was Anthony mackey allowed to yell at the crowd and promote Twisted Metal season 2? nobody fricking cares
The Mackie thing was wild. At first I thought he was coked up or the teleprompter wasn't working. He was replying to every fricking shout from the audience. Literally what was he thinking?
on the internet you get paid to stir up controversy
because they like making people as miserable as they are
games journalists deserve the rope
right alongside troony jannies, homosexuals, and pedophiles (though those three usually overlap)
more like the same thing, but I get what you mean
Did you watch the event? Celebrities got to go on and on with their shit speeches and unfunny jokes but devs accepting awards got 30 seconds. It was the celebrity awards not the game awards.
Because the marxists that won GOTY thought it was a good time to eulogize one of their homosexual co-workers during their speech. Geoff should have known communists don't know how to shut the frick up.
>blaming other people
This guy gets more unlikable year after year
This happens every fricking year why do people act surprised every time? Are game journos just stupid and incontinent or something?

The show is online but that venue is booked by the hour, and you pay out the ass for overtime.
Because he makes all the game bloggers look bad by comparison
