Oh it's that time again when all the cultural tourists who have never actually played a game in their life have a public tantrum because the new game features exactly the protagonist that the older games deliberately set up.

apparently some gamers are upset about ciri being the protagonist of witcher 4. did they not play witcher 3? the ending i got had ciri becoming a witcher and one of the DLCs for witcher 3 was basically about geralt retiring to live on a vineyard

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.

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.
