I have no idea what a Kunkel award is but apparently it's upset some people. Jason Schreier won three awards for excellence in journalism (found here). The awards were given for the following stories:
-The Curious Case Of The 'EA Game Dev' Who Said He Received Death Threats
-The Collapse Of Visceral's Ambitious Star Wars Game
-IGN Staff Walk Out After Former Employee's Sexual Harassment Claims
While Jason himself said he wasn't very fond of the awards even calling them a "despicable joke", the thread on his Twitter is more drama than an hour of soaps during the weekday.
There's a lot more if you just go through the thread. It's really popcorn worthy some of the conclusions people jump to over what seems like nothing outside of they don't agree with him getting the awards. I really don't even understand the drama. How does someone winning an award turn into drama? I thought maybe this was GG related but even Jason said these awards aren't associated with them.
PLEASE NOTE: Keep things civil. This is just to discuss the awards and the drama, not pour gasoline onto anything.
