The real question about the Game Awards is how much more can they sell out before people stop caring. It has become an unholy cross between E3 and the Golden Globes. And by "Golden Globes" I mean the old school, pay-to-win Golden Globes, where suitcases full of cash were exchanged for votes.

This is the truth. I'm not sure where a reputable award would come from, or how to keep them honest, but it seems like an award coming from journalists will be doomed to fail thanks to corruption and lack of integrity. The incestuous nature of journalism, advertising, and industry makes it all but inevitable.

Hasn't it always been the Game Advertisements? Perhaps it's gotten more egregious, but the nature of the thing hasn't really changed.
