Developers blast the celeb-laden Game Awards as 'an embarrassing indictment of a segment of the industry desperate for validation… with little respect for the devs'

The Game Awards have been and gone, turning the PC Gamer homepage into something like the deranged Instagram feed of someone obsessed with Sam Lake and Swen Vincke, but it's left plenty to discuss—and criticise—in its wake.
In particular, the show has come under fire for the short time allotted to acceptance speeches and celebrations of nominated games, with some devs rankling at celebrities getting seemingly limitless time to ramble while game makers were told to "Please wrap it up" after barely half a minute.

Good, it's about time devs woke up to the nonsensical GOTY awards show not being about them, but about ad space, celebs and self patting. I hope more devs get annoyed and raise a stink about it for the next one, because that show really needs to revamp itself into what it should be, not what it currently is. 

I didn't even watch this years show, because I care little for it at this point (the awards list doesn't even make sense and the majority of winners outside of BG3 really don't make sense either).

Devs should honestly make their own show and gate out the rest, because I don't see Geoff budging. That guy ignored anyone below him that wasn't a celeb before, I doubt he gives a shit about the thousands oif devs he actively ignores each year.
