Josh hits it.

I prefer to use my own damn eyes and ears, and they tell me that video games are not a better place thanks to The Game Awards. Careers are not made, prestige is not accrued, horizons are not broadened. I do not fault developers for grasping at any handhold available to them in this rapidly decaying business beset by lecherous consolidation and ravenous profit-seeking, and hope that more than a handful have been able to stay in the business longer thanks to the show’s exposure. But I think The Game Awards stance on the industry is exceedingly clear: Things are fine just the way they are.

Everyone knows this isn’t true, but we are feeble in our articulations, rote in our responses to cruelties we protest. It is perturbing that we’ve become accustomed to the Hellscape Preamble, a boilerplate paragraph where socially conscious writers will acknowledge layoffs, industry turmoil, and global conflict, before running down their list of best games of the year. We make for ourselves the world we write, and we can only write the world we imagine. I’m begging you to consider how small our imaginations have gotten, that we will turn away from the capaciousness of our hearts and minds when it comes to video games in the name of a good time. Tune into The Game Awards or not, but consider the kind of person it is made for, and if that aligns with the world you want to lie in.
