'I ended The Game Awards stream with a smile firmly fixed on my face. I may even have got a bit emotional at times.' | nathan_brown
— though the latter didn’t even make the cut for Best Independent, for reasons I don’t quite understand — felt like they earnt their nominations on the strength of their production values. If you take a few steps back and squint a bit, they each do a passable impression of a triple-A game.Indies are the great drivers of innovation in the game industry as we know it, and this is not some new development. It has been like this for a decade or more.
But when it comes to awards shows, indies are either ghettoised into their own categories, or used to make up the numbers in the more prestigious shortlists. Last night the sole dedicated indie award was consigned to one of the frequent round-up blitzes, sandwiched in between Best Role-Playing Game and Best Action-Adventure as if ‘indie’ were just another genre. I do not think this fair; it is neither reflective of the reality of the industry, nor most of its audience’s gaming habits.
