To a degree, I understand, but I don't personally feel there's anything uniquely off about this year either. It's always been the biggest, most talked about games getting most of the attention at this show, and the more interesting nominations are found at later shows like DICE or the BAFTAs

I was beating the "I Don't Know Why People Care About This Show So Much" drum in 2021: youtu.be/OrYT10dm0n8

And that was BEFORE all this: www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

My care for the Geoffies extends about as far as the GOTY orchestra. I am aggressively neutral on what gets nominated because GOTY is subjective anyway and also this is the worst awards show of the season despite it getting more press

I was pleased to see they remembered he exists but yeah, he deserved better than that showcase

I've always subscribed to the idea that each Bond is a different guy who happens to be assigned the 007 ("James Bond") designation at the time. There. Problem solved. Write whatever you want.

That too. Rockstar are expecting to use their vast resources to drag out a court case the employees likely can't afford to fight

Okay, sure, t's technically legal but the Equality Act makes it hard to enforce those kinds of contracts. While yes, the Act's language is specific to gender discrimination, the risk of a broad ban falling foul of that means most legal advice tells companies not to implement those clauses

Oh no, it is very illegal here too. Rockstar just seemingly hope people don't realise that.

This is why centrists absolutely cannot be trusted. This man was a LAWYER and he won't PROSECUTE CRIME. Probably because of some sweet payoff from Big Tech. Astounding how little he actually stands for.

I discovered this yesterday and it was the best start to the week. Love that Bamco know exactly what people are here for

Arresting protestors as terrorists, taking money from the vulnerable, aiding a genocide, supporting anti-trans policies, introducing the draconian Online "Safety" Act, adopting the rhetoric of the far-right, all while failing to bring down the cost of living in any meaningful way

Decent, you say?
