The awards are an excuse to show ads. Ads for upcoming games, released big games, etc.
What a wasted opportunity. The Academy Awards don't resort to advertising upcoming movies the whole time, they take a pause to appreciate what they've made. The game of the year awards should do the same.
Yeah but I was here to know about those incoming game . its the only reason else was just cringe.
It doesn't take many minutes for compilation videos to show up on YouTube that only contain trailers for news games, etc.
Yup but its an other experience to see it in live , also I watched a streamer reacting to the live ,so the sarcastic react made the experience much better. But yeah I could have save 4h of my night by just watch trailers after the show.
