Sorry, but does anyone even care about Game Awards really?

I've been calling it The Game Advertisements for years, since that's the vast majority of the presentation anyway. Most of the awards are just a little sidebar saying who won, and then back to the ads! The recognition is so fleeting, you've got to really be paying attention to see it at all.

Plus Imagine Dragons, of course.

The thing I liked least about the original Steam Controller was that g'damn haptic pad. It was never a pleasant experience to use. So I'm a bit concerned when I see two of them and everything else shoved to the top.

So yeah, I'm skeptical.

Mostly Fields of Mistria (Stardew Valley, but fantasy), Melvor Idle (Oldschool Runescape themed spreadsheet), and Hades Revisited on Luanti (terraforming in a world of ash and lava, very much still in development).

May I ask, does anyone around here play this game?

I'm currently trying out Wuzzy's new update on Hades Revisited, and I tend to like Nonsensical Skyblock and the Oneblock mod for Mineclonia.

But then, I've never played Minecraft itself aside from a few minutes toying about with Pocket Edition many years ago.

As always, "AI" stands for "replacing people with robot slaves". Amazon is very into that.

I played the first one, but wasn't very good at fighting back against the gates, so I'd end up overrun eventually.

Tried the demo for Eighties and it was pretty amusing, although I lost there too.

Not much time left to get in on the bubble, act now!

What i don't understand is where the lawyers at ?

The trouble is, they're conflicted. On the one side is copyright and their ability to squeeze all the money out of intellectual property forever.

On the other, they might get to use the technology to replace all the artists, writers, actors, etc. with free robot slaves. Or worse, someone else might get robot slaves first.

It's a tough call.

Are you really going to reject good games just because they dared to use AI in some irrelevant corner?

Yes.

I do not want to drink wine that only has a little sewage in it.

They didn't do the previous two DLC as I understand it. Assumed since the original studio last worked on it with Green Planet in 2019 they probably wouldn't now but who knows. Would be surprised if the original dev team was still together.
