Hot take: #TheGameAwards shouldn’t be popularity votes, and allowing them to be decided by the public (who absolutely haven’t played all the games in the category they’re voting for) undermines their value.

It should be the exact opposite of how it is now. Make a couple categories that are popularity contests. Otherwise we’re stuck in an award ceremony where category entries are chosen based on popularity parity and not necessarily who deserves what.

Upon reading their FAQ: “The winners in most categories are determined by the international jury (90%) and a public fan vote (10%)” so I guess I retract everything I said?

Make it like the Heisman... public counts as 1 vote

That might make public votes feel like they’re in competition with the outlets. Us vs them. But sure, if it works.

I'm not sure a better system exists. Metacritic scores are probably the only evaluation that holds any water. It's too subjective for a few people to decide, and too biased by popularity for a fan vote. Awards ceremonies are largely just useless BS.
