I think there's absolutely a space for an industry achievement/recognition award like the Oscar, Tony, etc. The Game Awards just seems like the most cynical attempt at forcing one into the video game space.

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.
