I’m a creative and a designer myself. My philosophy is that at the end of the day the products should be judged by its result. It’s unfortunate because consumers often do not truly appreciate the amount of blood and trouble that goes into works when creatives feel they deserve a break sometimes. Again, at the end of the day, providing explanations why the game is shit is not going to make the game less shit.

What I don’t get about all the criticism lobbied at The Game Awards is that other gaming award shows do exist, and have existed, but people don’t fucking watch them and then they criticize TGA for doing what other awards shows didn’t: get millions to actually watch it.

I almost forgot about that period of VNN. I actually liked the sensationalism, even already knowing most of it was probably wrong, but it was still interesting to listen to especially if I’m not really paying attention, though I can see how that can easily impact his credibility and reputation.
