ITT: RPS figures out that awards are mostly marketing and circlejerks

“Portion Craft” is supposed to be Potion Craft unless they have released a game about properly portioning meals for people.

I’m glad they are calling this out publicly. It’s helpful to know which awards aren’t worth considering.

I really did love seeing Starfield nominated for most innovative game. I would be hard pressed to find a less innovative game. It was just fallout in space. I enjoyed a good 40 or so hours of it just because I like those kinds of Bethesda games, but that’s all it was. Another one of those kinds of Bethesda games. No new stuff other than ship combat which was essentially a glorified loading screen most of the time, and when you did find another ship to fight, the combat would last 15 seconds and then you wouldn’t fight another ship for an hour and a half. I don’t regret playing it, I had fun, but it is by no means innovative in any way.
