An American-made game hasn't won GOTY since 2020...

This isn't how this joke works.

Someone needs to craft a new law of nature about the proximity between knuckle hair and nail polish, and at what scale and concentration do economic efforts fall apart.
 
Because the entire industry has been shit since COVID. Look at the nominees from the past few years, it's really pathetic. Not saying the games are bad, but if this is the best of the best then....
 
Man, trying to remember last US made game I played a lot.

Maybe Fallout 4 (with crapload of mods that I don't ever update), Wasteland 3, PoE2, God of War 1, Ghost 1, Spider-Man 1.

So it's been good 5 years? I am sure I played some great indies though. Where was Chained Echoes made?
 
And that was TLOU2. What does that say about the American game industry to you?
The US primarily develops multiplayer shooters and sports games, with Sony's top studios (Naughty Dog, Santa Monica) and Take-Two's Ken Levine being the only ones doing the prestigious kind of titles that'd be able to secure a GOTY award.

What is the surprise all about?
 
Don't forget about Kojima. Seem to remember claims that Keighley's man crush would ensure DS2 took home some hardware.
You know how to summon me.😭

Keighley would perform a reach around for Koji-San from across the planet if he got a text message asking for one.

Most games today, especiallly AAA games, are not made in just one country anymore. Does anyone actually think GTA6 is being made by just Rockstar North? The credits on that game is going to be enormous with many thousands of devs credited, and just about every Rockstar studio around the world contributed to the development in some shape and form.
 
GTA is not American, dude.

Rockstar Games has been an American company since its inception. They have a collection of studios that used to be individually credited. Such as Rockstar North on GTA and Rockstar San Diego on Red Dead. But the studios collaborate on their projects now so much that they don't get solely credited anymore. As was the case with Red Dead Redemption 2 and as will be the case with GTA 6. So, you've got an American company, a publisher that is also part of an even larger American company, and all of its studios from various locations now working together so much that they are collectively credited as Rockstar Games. Kinda hard to say it's not American today even if it wasn't in the past. You'd have to just stubbornly hang onto the fact that it started with a UK subsidiary and refuse to accept how things have changed over the last 12 years.
