Pizza Tower lost debut indie awards on TGA because of this

[Gabeznl]

"Winners are determined by a blended vote between the voting jury (90%) and public fan voting (10%)."

It was rigged.

shouldnt the opinion of the people matter more? and they wonder why people get mad every year

Did the voting jury actually play the games?

that isn't really a good argument tbh, most popular game would just win in that case

and instead it's judged 90% by people who couldn't progress past the tutorial level of Cuphead lol. Kidding, I'm sure they're not all that bad

it's not like they're above everyone with some prestigious education on video games though, they just play them the same as everyone else. I agree that votes would be rigged "for the meme" if it were mostly up to the public though. but at the end of the day it's just video games. Every format has award shows that go against the popular vote too. Also consider Baldur's Gate 3 was both a critic and fan favourite so it swept the award show.

I would've liked to see Pizza Tower win, but it is what it is. I still hope they'll snag the "Outstanding Visual Style" award for the Steam awards.

Voting Jury doesn’t need to play the game, Cocoon was made by Annapurna, Annapurna bribed the judges, it happened when League won over that anime, and it happened when God Of War won all of those awards years ago. Jury already knows who they’re voting for. PT beat all of the other games in voting tenfold, even Cocoon. TGA is just an event where big companies get to flex their ego an nothing more.

Is there somewhere I can view the popular vote results?

i know i'm saying this on a lot of threads but to drive this point further, cocoon isn't a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ debut title either. it didn't even deserve to get into the category let alone win
