Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
RDR2 instead of DRG? I think there is a lot of people that doesn't know what is rewarding the Labor of Love award. RDR2 doesn't get a mayor update since 2022, just a few small updates in 2023. On the other side, 2 seasons in DRG are like a big dlc expansion of a AAA game but free, this is worst than the Geoffawards

Quoting: EriI vote for the "The Doritos Popes Blessings™".....Quoting: PenglingWe should do a brainstorm and a poll to choose the GoL official name for the show.Quoting: Erithe GeoffawardsThat is SUCH a great name for The Godawful Awards!
*Doritos Pope reaches into a bag of Doritos and flicks the blessed "Doritos Dust™" onto the box cover*
"I Bless thy Baldurs Gate III as the game of the year...... With thy strong storyline and D&D inspired gameplay..... It was a sure fire hit of 20 23........ Thy people have spoken and you have won....... And now you are given a blessing from the chosen one......."
*Doritos Pope picks up the game box and submerges it in a tub of "Holy Dew™"...... He then lofts the wet game box above his head...... Showing it off to the people of "Gamer Town™" who all rejoice at the blessing given by the all knowing and wise pontiff......*

Huh, the Steam awards this year are so weird (except BG3), that their legitimacy is a little questionable. Not as bad as Goodread's Reader's Choice Awards yet -- those are so bad I don't know why they exist -- but I'm starting to doubt the Steam awards now.
When I saw the RDR2 award, I was so surprised that I went and looked at all their Steam news announcements over the year. It didn't line up.
Hogwarts makes some sense in the fact it's in the top 50 played games on Steamdb right now with most of the more-played games being released in years prior to 2023.

Aye.
I know some people think they are being hilarious or that they are "sticking it to the man" by troll voting like this.
But all they are really doing is throwing a massive insult to all the devs that do their best to release good games.

Quoting: CloversheenHrm. Perhaps the earliest example of this kind of thing that I'm aware of is, there was a Canadian politician named Stockwell Day--fairly right wing, but oddly inoffensive, certainly by current standards. Anyway, back in the year 2000, he was backing the idea of doing lots of decisions by having the public propose stuff and vote on it--actually the only part of his platform I liked. The Canadian somewhat-political sketch comedy show "This Hour has 22 Minutes" put up an online proposal demanding that Stockwell Day be forced to change his name to "Doris". It got hundreds of thousands of signatures, pretty good for Canada in 2000, way more than enough that if Day's policy had been made law it would have forced a referendum. At the time we Canadians thought it was pretty funny.Quoting: CatKillerQuoting: Anzaif you get past the few baffling AAA winsNot "baffling;" trolling.
