manga, graphic novels, and books have their own designated shelves though

Not to mention that these "holy shit" annoucmenents are probably for games that wont even see the light of day for three to five years minimum... These awards shows are for shareholders and reaction YouTubers, not for us.

I really think that when it comes to a Game of the Year award, it makes the most sense to only nominate games released that year—not DLC, remakes, or remasters. The new games deserve that. That’s just me, though.

Stupid ones are on the Media 24/7 because they say whatever they are paid to say.

While intelligent ones won't be allowed on, because they won't.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a video game about the isolation of being the only one who can fix things

Forbidden West is a game about how even if you're the only one who can, you don't have to do it alone

It's an important point and we love these games so much and we can't wait to see what's next.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
