Stellar Blade, Silent Hill 2 and Space Marine 2 got snubbed for DLC and a card game.
Dragon Age doesn't deserve the sales it got, let alone awards.

This. Even if we took out the terrible Erdtree/Balatro nominations DA would still
Not deserve to be in the race when you have stuff like every single game you mentioned. All 3 are miles more deserving then DA.

 

[Plague Doctor]

What is this... the second article from the gaming press throwing a public tantrum DA V didn't make it into an awards ceremony.

Man, this industry is committing to the clown bit.

They mad.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

And here you see one of the big reasons Trump won.

These idiots just can't stop calling people racists and nazis etc. because we don't want to hear about their mental problems... they just don't learn.

From The article:

“Inevitably, there will be those who say The Veilguard wasn’t snubbed and that it just didn’t deserve recognition. Pushing aside the bad-faith transphobic and racist nonsense that’s been surrounding the games for months, there’s a discussion to be had there. It is, without a doubt, one of the more divisive gamesin BioWare’s catalog. But anyone who thinks its timing didn’t play a factor in its complete absence is kidding themselves, and this kind of fundamental failing will affect games you like just as much as ones you don’t one day. Justice for Gareth David-Lloyd, you deserved a Best Performance nod for your work as Solas.”

LUL. Get fucked.

 

[yogaflame]

IGN then Kotaku. I'm sure the next two will be Eurogamer and Thegamer.

 

[diffusionx]

LUL. Get fucked.

"you're too racist and transphobic to rec-"
"Yes"
"I didnt finish my sentence. You are too racist and transphobic to "
"Yes"

 

[Aenima]

I find it hilarious that every single time these comatose website chill for failguard, they always give zero reasons to why the game actualy deserves to be nominated for GOTY. Its always about identity politics. "Look how diverse this game is, why didnt it got nominated more?" Get REKT!

 

[Denton]

Cuntaku never fails to not make morons out of themselves.

 

[Doomtrain]

Transphobic is petty, but at least there's been controversy over Taash being non-binary, so I get why they're pushing that angle. But racist?

 

[N30RYU]

 

[LordBlodgett]

It's Kotaku........

Daragon Age

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Fuck these morons. Pathetic

 

[Valedix]

Yeah Stellar Blade & Silent Hill 2 should've been on the list for sure.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

Sorry didn’t read the article.

Too busy dancing on BioWares grave.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Your narcissistic gaslighting and emotional manipulation is a dying breed.

It's starting to look so, so stale when you see one of these now. Like, OMG, it's like so 2020.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Btw I have talked a lot of shit about TGA for years and still do, but I will be honest... if Geoff Keighley and crew tell the outlets to get fucked on this issue, it will win me over a little. Like if they hold their ground and don't do some dumb shit like giving DA V some honorary shout out segment, I won't think of TGA as a total joke.

It will also be telling about the behind the scene currents happening in the business.

 

[Gilgalaad]

I really enjoy when Woktaku is crying.

Pushing aside the bad-faith transphobic and racist nonsense that’s been surrounding the game

About time the mod team grew some gender neutral balls and started banning these grey-dragon-non-binary-trans phobes!

Spoiler

/s

 

[Kururu]

I did a quick search and didn't see any game called "DAragon Age: Veilguard". I went ahead and updated the title. If there is a DAragon Age game, I'm terribly sorry. Please contact the mod team to correct immediately.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I was a bit surprised not to see it on the GOTY list but then again probably a safe move not to aggravate all the angry man-children.

We'll need your breakdown of the conspiracy agenda against Silent Hill 2. Clearly every game not being nominated has a nefarious plot working against it in the shadows.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

What racism? Yeah some push back on the forced gender garbage but why they crying about bad faith racism?

 

[DeepEnigma]

That’s been the new label after Nazi wore out. “Everything challenging our dogma is racist.”

Fitting the character name was a letter away from Trash.

 

[lifa-cobex]

 

[kiphalfton]

Polygon, Resetera, Kotaku, etc. get that much more exposure... by reposting that garbage here.

 

[LordCBH]

Kotaku continues to employ the worst people imaginable.

 

[Kacho]

Someone please check on shinobi602

 

[Soodanim]

I somehow missed the racism part. Haven't seen a single race related thing to do with DA:V.

I'm not typically one to beat a dead horse, but it's like they want people to hate them when they take that extra step towards being ridiculed.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

EA doesn't have enough cash to pay for the award this year...Wukong has some DEEP gourds this year filled with ACTUAL money where as BioWare just has promises of retruning to their roots.
Besides....they need to save all the pennies they can for their Disney "merger".

 

[Facism]

Can these people fuck off? Trying to be victims where half their lives are spent drinking lattes and spewing nonsense on the Internet

 

[MayauMiao]

Good on OP for giving us archive link, though I won't bother reading it anyway. Kotaku is just garbage

 

[Magic-DEI-Hire]

No one cares about Kotaku.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I was excited at first and then Veilguard started to bore me. I’d vote for Elden Ring DLC multiple times, all day long if I knew that would guarantee its spot at #1. BioWare isn’t the same BioWare. It’s like The Force Awakens, but it’s BioWare’s next game.

 

[Ronin_7]

Kotaku is trash

They’re more like Rise of Skywalker - writing so bad that fanfics do a better job.

[Mayar]

Oh my God, here they are again... I thought they had already fired everyone from there, what an unfortunate oversight...

 

[TheChumpNation]

The tears are honestly delicious.

 

[Wildebeest]

They are right that TGA does not have a serious process compared to things like the Grammys or BAFTA. But they are missing the point that compared to a real award show, almost nobody cares who wins the awards in the show. People only really turn up to watch exclusive trailers.

Even in fantasy land there are only two genders.

 

[ZehDon]

Reality:

Kotaku: "Dragon Age was snubbed, and if you disagree, you're a Nazi!"

Hopefully the wankstain who wrote that had to write 50 game guides afterwards to make bank. Kota-poo more like.

Perfect fit.

 

[BbMajor7th]

1. The TGAs don't.matter.
2. Veilguard isn't GOTY material.
3. Gareth David-Lloyd is a very quiet and chill family man who probably doesn't want pulling into your stupid crusade.

 

[Aguero9320]

I’m playing it right now, it should have been on the list. I don’t care though, or care why it isn’t because it doesn’t fucking mean anything.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Kotak

 

[Queso de Grande]

This is a poor attempt at stirring up controversy for hate clicks. Do better.

 

[gow3isben]

Veilguard is transphobic imo


They purposefully made Taash insufferable with a resting bitch face so people may assume all non-binary folk are that awful

If you want to see a trans character done right look no further than the bar owner in Hogwarts Legacy
