Gamepyre: 2008 Video Game Awards Review

Gamepyre writes:

"As a video game critic, watching the awards is something that I will do at any cost. I'm very curious to see if the almost recession-proof video game industry has "bought" this year's winners, or if truly the best games of 2008 will acquire a deserved award.

This year will actually be Spike TV's 5th annual Video Game Awards and in all honesty I was not aware of this event until a few days ago when the New York Times ran an article about this award ceremony. The article focused mostly on Jack Black who just happens to be this year's host, but Jack Black will not be the only celebrity making appearances tonight. Between the publishers, celebrities, the fans and the advertisement companies this should be a show to remember."

Ex-CoD producer tells devs to “be more like Larian, less like Activision”

Rubin: "Thank you! A lot of games, Call of Duty included just focus on how to make the most money possible out of the player base. They rely heavily on FOMO marketing and EOMM matches. But I feel like it used to be just more about the quality of the game which would drive players to play. And that means making the game more player centric. i.e. less engagement based tactics and higher quality experiences for the players. Better maps, modes etc. In other words your game should have a high player count because it's good and people want to play it rather than people playing it because the game has a $250M marketing budget. Everything is just said is very simplified as it would take too long to really go into it. One last simple analogy. Be more like Larian, less like Activision."

Yet you work for another scummy company like Ubisoft that fight to flood single player games with useless battle passes, predatory microtransactions and to take away player ownership of the games they pay for.
