I can't argue with any of the nominees for #TheGameAwards but I wish Split Fiction had been in there. But I can't rightfully say what I'd take out.
My personal #GOTY though is Expedition 33 and it's not close.

One of my favorite things as an author has been seeing or hearing a good insult some where and immediately writing it down so you can include it in a book.

If you want people to like gen AI, use it to solve actual problems like cancer research, not profit margins. It's that simple.

There are two primary reasons many people get upset about AI, including that used in Arc Raiders:
1. Ethically (it displaces workers, has high energy costs)
2. Enshittification (it's usually much worse than the workers its replacing. Its just cheap and fast)
It's unnecessary as is and harmful.

If you cut corners and use shitty AI because you don't want to pay people who are integral to the creative process of games, yes, that should be considered in reviews as a negative.
It's a completely and utterly unnecessary enshittification shortcut that Embark took.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Firing 40 employees for simply talking about unions and then delaying your game is crazy work.

So this little bit of breakdown between #EXODUSGAME and #Osirisreborn got flagged as "shocking content."
If you'd like go go be shocked by...aliens? Check it out. There's no tentacles...or bears. Not in the #bg3 way anyway : youtu.be/a81bKYCUdkQ

If you use gen AI in your game i just assume you're trying to cut corners and be cheap.
Yes, that includes arc raiders despite all its good features. No reason not to pay actors to say "wires." You're not innovating. You're being cheap.

Two of the games I am the *most* excited for in the coming years: @exodusgameofficial.bsky.social and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from @owlcatgames.bsky.social
They feel like two heads of the same coin, and I couldn't be more excited for both. youtu.be/a81bKYCUdkQ

AI has the stink of "trust me bro" vibes but what's undeniably real is the human cost. I cover games mostly so from that narrow slice we've seen thousands of layoffs and cancelled projects all for "trust be bro." Its maddening.

I know there's a lot of demos out there to play right now but two I'd definitely recommend are the @owlcatgames.bsky.social published CRPG #ShadowOfTheRoad for a promising feudal Japan turn-based experience.
And @ofashandsteel.bsky.social for that crunchy old school RPG feel
