Will any of those companies have the awards pressed on their prints?

Lol maybe some of the indies will put the award up on their webpage/Steam page? 

It may help them with the followers that take this youtuber opinion.

Like say those that follow them via Steam's curators?, I follow TB as one of a few on Steam since he has a taste akin to mine but also a guy I follow for port reports.

OT: pretty solid list of awards there and I find the different choice topics to add a nice bit of flavor. Looking forward to both his and Jim Sterling's worst of the year awards in the coming days.

Yes, they would probably give a lot of weight to his credibility on his picks.

Those are indeed some pretty arbitrary categories!

Yeah I could see that being quite useful, especially if you want to narrow down on the list of games he thinks stand out above others on his curator list.

And very funny, don't you think?

There is quite a lot of Indies and some part is very dubious in quality, so yes his seal could make it easier for me to move If I followed him and have aligned tastes.
