Psh, I would very much disagree. Times name used to have some weight to it as a cultural icon, but now it’s just another pseudo-political rag. The VGA, while not known by everyone, is very well known among gamers worldwide, which is really what matters when it comes to accolades for video games anyway. Who cares about the opinion of a bunch of ill informed political writers who probably don’t even play video games?

Well the VGAs are nice for main stream publicity, even if they are mainly an hour long commercial.

Doesn’t matter if GW2 wins its category or not though, they didn’t even air or announce the PC winner. Also, GW2 was left out of the Best Original Score category. The four nominees were major console releases.

The only category GW2 was in that was aired was Best Multiplayer game and there it was against four other major console releases.

I can say, as I sat there watching the award show on my Xbox, and seeing all of the Microsoft first party 360 commercials and features I wasn’t exactly expecting a PC game to win the best multiplayer award and I wasn’t surprised when some lesser categories got screen time but best game for two other platforms was totally absent.

It was surprising though to see Valve take game of the decade and Journey run away with multiple awards. And I was happy to see Dishonored take best action game and Walking Dead take GoTy. Arkane and Tell Tale definitely deserved it.
