Wonder how long until these game awards mean nothing.

I don't mean game awards in general, but like that the Game Awards that we just had broadcast become the only one that matters.

You know like the Oscars or something. No one cares at all what Forbes thinks is the movie of the year, they only care what the Oscars think. (No idea what awards show is what, so Oscars could be music, tv, or whatever, so don't nit pick me for using Oscars as example)

But in video games we care about every reviewer in the world and brag about 300 game of the year awards given out. I wonder how long until only 1 matters and others don't even bother. This years game awards was a vast improvement in looking more professional. It may one day sit next to all the other pointless shows like Grammy's, Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmy, ect

I mean wasn't the game awards voted on by a ton of critics? So how many of these 60 awards Zelda has gotten already been from people that voted for Zelda in the Game Awards?
