| Azzanation said: Issue with TGA is they arent brave enough to give games that are niche the Award. They are too focused on outside preception and popularity of a title that weights in on the award. Its all to increase viewership. |
I agree, certain genres like racing or fighting have difficulties to earn a GOTY (not only in TGA but most GOTYs), even if the game is really great as these genres are sometimes seen as inferior. City Skylines or simulators like that might fall in the same category, pretty hard for them to get a general award. Generally speaking, if a game has narrative elements it might fare better at general awards than a game without it.
Indies might struggle too, although that became better in recent years.
