Feel like I’m the only one surprised by this. I play games quite often, but I’ve never watched the Game Awards. I’m barely even aware that it exists. Never heard anyone in real life mention it.

Because honest and true gamers dont give af, we just enjoy playing games

Real Gs move in silence like lasagna.

I'm not interested either. I play games, but I rarely play new releases because they tend to release in such a bad state. So most of the games I play are a year or two old by the time I get to them, and those wouldn't be featured on this year's awards show.

And yeah, I've never heard anyone talk about it. I have coworkers that watch the Super Bowl, World Cup, etc, but nobody watches game awards.

I am barely aware of it, definitely don't know about it until it's in progress. I do like cramming a few trailers though, and wondering whether silksong is real

I didn't even know about it until a year or two ago. but now me and my friends have a tradition of watching it together.

That sounds very wholesome. My friends just talk about their kids or about how we never talk anymore.
