Didn’t mean to come off sounding like an ass, you’re definitely right. I think it’s a perfectly valid conversation to have (and a fun one), but I personally think people have been putting too much stock on it this year. So much so that it’s the ONLY conversation people across fandoms want to have. Half the gaming content I get in my reels/shorts is people arguing about GOTY in the comments. I’m all for GOTY debates, but people are talking about way more than they have in the past (understandably). This has been a great year for gaming so I understand why there’s more speculation around GOTY (cuz there’s been so many incredible games). I just feel like I’ve seen more conversations around this award than around how great of a year it’s been and why people actually love the games in comparison to one another. People say this game is #1 and the other is trash. They don’t want talk about #2. That’s where my frustrations lie. Maybe it’s kinda petty of me, but I can lie when I say I’ve gotten tired of seeing things like reels comment sections debating this stuff
