Cocoon for Game of the Year
So, Game of the Year can never be an indie game, right? Or can it? I mean, could Cocoon or Dave the Diver even be nominated if they were simply, objectively better game experiences than anything else that year? (in the main category, not indie) – Cobrasoul
Being “objectively” better doesnt matter because these are always popularity contests no matter how hard we try, more people play AAA than indie by their nature so are more likely to win. And when we get an indie game that gets a huge amount of praise such as Undertale we get pushback from people it didn’t resonate with because, well, entertainment is never objective. – Mav
