And thus, your third eye is open.

It's all about money. Always has been. Always will be.

Lol studios don't buy their way into the game awards, and anyone who thinks they do are deluding themselves.

It's literally just people at various gaming outlets getting ballots and voting for what they think should win in whatever category.

That's why only the biggest games get on there. It's not because they paid to be there. It's because those are the most known, most popular, and most widely liked games that people have played.

And Geoff will never say anything bad about the games industry because he wants to remain buddy-buddy with everyone in the industry.

Like, I get his show is suppose to be a celebration of video-games, but just how blatant all the awful shit in gaming gets ignored (MTX, live-service, unfinished launches, etc) just kinda looks silly at this point.
