You are arguing BG3 is the only title that has a right to win.

And doing so on the basis you think there is a conspiracy to give it an advantage by pitting it against, let me just check. Ah. Here it is: the most popular and acclaimed games of the season.

Well. That's one theory.

So... would you say that you feel that a game winning an award when it's pitted against other games that do not even match the award category, making it by default the only functional contender in that short list, is a legitimate award with meaning? Are you satisfied that it got put into vote for several categories against games that didn't match the category at all, eliminating any real chance of the golden child not winning most of its nominations?

I, for one, don't really consider that legitimate. Frankly, I think being asked to select the best RPG from a list of games, only two others of which share a Partial categorisation with the genre being selected for to begin with, when there are numerous other so-classified RPGs from 2023 to choose from, is extremely suspect. There were other games that it could have been put up against by the selectors, and the short list options that people were given to pick from often felt very... let's say... motivated, at least to me.


If everyone was treated the way they treated the person least able to resist there would be universal prosperity and complete peace
