The rise of the smaller downloadable games is changing things and some people hate to see their "blockbusters" judged against something with a lower budget. I think that's silly, for the most part, but the situation could be easily fixed by going with different award titles. For instance, awards in the literary world often use some variation of Novel, Novella, Novelette, and Short Story. Obviously gaming wouldn't need that many, but the point is that they are separated in a way that doesn't diminish either. |
I don't know...as someone who actually decides these things at least for one tiny site I'm inclined to say "fuck em" to those that don't like smaller downloadable games being judged against the blockbusters. Just means that the industry is changing and you don't have to make a retail game to get recognition, nothing bad about that in my mind. It's a change and people hate change, but they'll get over it with time.
