What's the use for "VG$" money? Just bragging rights and having fun betting here?

Basically yes. You have the VG$-Store (in the Settings) and can purchase a few specific Badges with it. But that's it.

I understand, thank you for responding and paying attention.



Easy money. I wish I could bet more than VG$1000,00.




A very early look how it develops. With only 13 awards so far we have four games that got at least one:

Was there any doubts lol



 

Glad Baldurs Gate 3 won. It's a awesome game and a fresh air in the history of the winners

Don't forget, my thread is about GOTY overall, not one singular show. But yes, overall BG3 also starts to pull ahead. I am surprised by Alan Wake, I didn't have it in the poll, sorry for that. And also not illusion island. Kinda surprised Spiderman didn't win anything so far.

Hmm, this means Disney Illusion Island must be a better game than Spiderman

Looks like Baldur’s Gate 3 is going to win and I'm going to lose my VG$! I haven't played either, but I just felt like Zelda was way more hyped going into launch, and more mainstream than BG3, and since they both got similar review scores that'd give it the edge. I have seen Zelda fans be more critical of TotK since the initial launch hype died down, however, so maybe that's hurt it come GotY season, whereas something like the opposite has been happening to BG3 as word of mouth is strong for it.
