I agree, although I do believe that there needs to be a professional awards show for video games. People with actual credit, probably like game developers.
They're like Legion from ME2 - A bazillion individuals who can sometimes be coaxed into giving a majority opinion.
You mean game developers voting for game developers? Don't they already have an award show?

If you check the nominee's for the reward you'll see that activision actually isn't even nominated.
Nominees:
Capcom
EA's Origin
Microsoft's E3 conference
Sony hacking scandal
Ubisoft's DRM

Oh man the conspiracy stuff in that thread is awesome.
Your noise filter has to be turned up to maximum when browsing /v/. Especially with that conspiracy anon thread which was crazy idiotic. It was kinda sad.
A couple anons will talk crap about GAF, but for the most part they don't give a damn about us.
It's like listening to one of those insane homeless guys ramble about how the KGB is mind controlling us.

Important to note that in order to vote you must log into your steam ID, makes those 200k votes a little more meaningful. Not much more, but a little more.

Right, and don't get me wrong I'm rooting for Origin to win that (though sony will probably win based on their negative reaction to sony from that recent thread we had), but the name of the actual award puzzles me. So many are still under the false impression that Activision is the root of all evil in gaming.
Nah, the industry listening is kind of a lost cause. Too many moneyhats and multi-million dollar deals to leave room for the consumer.
The truth finally comes out.

No way!
Except it's actually funny.
Yeah, it started after Dragon Age 2 and never really let up. It's funny, because it caused then to retroactively hate other Bioware games as well.

Which isn't really that hard to be honest. The VGAs are about as embarassing as it gets. Tacky as hell and overproduced to no end.

I wish the categories didn't have joke names. Seems like it's trying too hard to me. It will likely be better than the vgas, but it's still going to be embarrassing.

As long as they recognise the PS3 as the greatest consumer electronic item ever made, it'll be fine.

Some of the images are from, like, 2005. I'm kinda surprised they haven't hauled out Bible Codes.
Hilarious!!!
Do you not get that /v/ absolutely adores Gaben? It's out of love.

The responses in the "360 outsells everything" thread probably didn't help our case.

Whatever man. Making fun of gabe Newell for being fat. Totally cutting edge comedy right there.
That doesn't make it funny.

/v/ could be worseI've seen /vp/ and its slew of PokePorn fan-fics. That was when I scrounged the board for good theory threadswe have Chanarchive for that now, thank Jebus.
lol at VY Canis Majoris shenanigans.

The "Gabe is fat" meme has transcended bad joke status and become something far more... The fact of the matter us that most people on /v/ adore Valve and Gabe, they just have a funny way of showing it. In my professional opinion, they're totally tsundere.
If you look just a tiny bit beneath the surface, you'll realize that the fattest developer category is really a monument to their appreciation of Valve and Gabe. They just put it that way because it's the easiest joke they can turn it into. It's not like Gabe Newell is the only fat game dev alive, yet he's the only choice for voters. He was given his own category and a guaranteed win, it's the best possible compliment you can get from /v/.

You must think I said it was cruel. I'm sure /v/ think their in jokes are hilarious, but I'm not part of /v/. Is this award show solely aimed at /v/?
Agreed, they love Gabe and Valve, they even write one word a post letters to them and get replies, a few of them dislike valve as they view it as a draconian distribution format, however they are the minority from what i've seen.

Easiest joke... We can agree on that part.
Yes.

So why is someone advertising it for them here on gaf?
bro
Because they're a relatively large gaming community, and having their own award show is a pretty cool thing. Plus I'm sure there are plenty of people who visit both /v/ and GAF. I get that it's not for everyone but it's at least worth taking a look at.
Not this again.
