I figured it would be fun to have this to look at each year as we go into "The Game Awards" season. You know, that time of the year where Geoff Keighley gets embarrassed by Josef Fares. If you are obsessed with data, like me, then hopefully you will enjoy what I've put together here!
Setup: The main developer (if independent) will receive 1 point per award. If they win GOTY or Developer of the Year/Best Game Direction they will receive 5 points.
