What the actual fuck lmao. How does Skyrim in space win the most innovative gameplay award?

Gamers have lost their minds I swear

It was a deliberate joke, I think

They also nominated Warhammer: 40k Darktide for the “Better with Friends” award when it was an unfinished flop that sits at 66% (Mixed) for overall reviews.

Maybe we could dare to hope for a “mostly positive” in that slot at minimum.

This game was very popular in Taiwan but I do not think it deserves the reward. High sales because of a popular IP should not determine whether a game wins an award. Was the Steam Deck version better than the other versions? My friends who played it complained of glitches and boring gameplay.

Yes, the Hogwarts game on the Deck was glitchy as fuck despite being “Steam Deck certified”.

One of the problems was it kept opening files for content without closing the old files that are no longer used. Operating systems limit the number of files a single process can have open to prevent runaway processes and causing systems to completely hang. Linux is just a little more strict than Windows by default so the fix was to update a setting. It had obviously not been tested further than “well it starts”.

But I think that’s the joke.

I feels like this sort of article pops up every single year after Steam Award. I remember the first year steam award started it’s basically the same “issue”, where game that people think don’t deserve the award are given one.

but have you considered that it’s bad actually to laud the transphobic blood libel game with Ubisoft characteristics?

particularly in a year so packed with actual decent games deserving of recognition?

It’s literally the opposite of transphobic. It’s like they tried as hard as they could to negate everything bad JKR has ever said…

sadly it still shovels money into her pockets and is about the cabal of hooked nose bankers stealing children to perform rituals

noticing you’re neglecting to defend the blood libel plotline or the fact that it’s another bland, dogshit open world game

but also if i wanted a cissie’s opinions on trans issues i’d surely have asked instead of telling

By existing it helps her transphobia. I don’t care if it was a game purely about how awesome trans people are, it would still turn funds toward that fucking bitch

but its not, and the games a shitty ubisoft open world only made to seem good through a bunch of losers Stockholm syndrome with a stupid children’s series they can’t fucking LET GO OF

You’re a transphobic clown that cares more about your Harry Potter treats than trans people. Stop pretending otherwise.
