I'm not bothered by the idea that TLOU2 is probably going to win GOTY because I don't think the amount of awards something wins is indicative of whether that game is enjoyable, and TLOU is the video game equivalent of an Oscar bait movie so it winning is the expected outcome.
I'm annoyed because if it does win, people are not going to shut the fuck up about it. There's gonna be a ton of posts about how "haters and trolls can try to review bomb it but this award proves them wrong" or some bullshit, and I bet even Druckmann and some combination of Troy Baker/Laura Bailey/Ashley Johnson are gonna be all smug about it. Especially Troy.
TLOU2 is going to win a few for sure then. That's the crowd Cuckmann pandered to, the dangerhair games journalists. Meanwhile Tsushima got good praise but also some awful shill reviews where they one for one compared it to TLOU2 and how that was better.
On the other hand, if TLOU2 were to win GOTY, would it encourage other game companies to make their games like TLOU2, with massive depression fest storylines, and brutally killing established characters off, to replace them with woke ones?
