Very upsetting that Ben didn't win best performance... At least Soken won!

big shout out and love to @NcyRocks for running this market's resolutions live for y'all!

ALAN WAKE

Not sure if Best Performance counts as a win for BG3, but I have a feeling it's not going to matter...

@Stralor Will the YES options be resolved live as revealed during the Game Awards?

@AWholeTurkey would have loved to but won't be able to watch live. if there's a mod that will feel free to do so!

@Joshua are you gonna be watching Live?

@AWholeTurkey I'm tuning in! I don't promise to watch the whole thing, but I'll tune in and keep an eye on this market.

Seeing the spreads on this market has me thinking, so to stop myself from doing that, I made a derivative market:

When you thought StarField would be nominated in more categories

Awesome question

here's a dash with all the big MCs for the game awards!

Note to traders, due to a very good point brought up privately I've added:

including those without nominations

to the description. Obviously hon. mentions won't count, but something that still feels like a real award (perhaps announced main stage, given a trophy, or some such) would count, such as a Viewers' Choice. I will reverse any no nomination NOs if it happens to be Golden Idol or Rogue Legacy... or Hogwarts

Dave the Diver is getting enough flak for not being a real indie that I do not think it will survive the second phase of voting.

@Panfilo And I put plenty of No limits in for those who disagree!

I'm not gonna go thru and add every nominee. Might trickle in a few more myself, but y'all feel free to put them in yourself, especially if you're rooting for them or think they've got a serious chance!

@Stralor Went through and added some more

Calling it now: either Alan Wake 2 or Baldur's Gate 3 will sweep all their cats this year. No new franchises allowed.

Games for impact is gonna be this or goodbye volcano high, it's a toss-up

@Marnix idk Terra Nil is a safe bid, and pretty decent. might win out on that alone

@Stralor True, and I forgot Terra Nil is a Devolver game, for that extra edge on the competition

@Marnix I've added it. Forgot it was a release this year, tbh! it's one of the few overlaps with my play habits in this nom list

This will probably win Best Family Game.

Golden Idol and Rogue Legacy 2 got no noms.

@Panfilo jfc I forgot how normie and bland the game awards are. probably can't even spell indie

There go my hopes of a new Golden Idol dlc where the GOTY trophy is the idol 😭
