      I don’t think any award in any field is supposed to be “original”. No game released the last ~5 years comes anywhere close to what Larian achieved. Why would anyone comment negatively on them getting an award for that?

        Yeah true, I guess I’m more against the whole phallus waggling contest especially from publications that will just say whatevers the most popular game won game of the year. It’s uninspired and I can’t derive any new recommendations from it.

        Probably one of the indie game gems released this year. HROT, Dave the diver, Pizza tower, Trepang2, Battlebit, Warhammer 40k botgun, Prodeus, Zortch, Mosa lina etc…

            I mean what isn’t a clone of something though up over 2 decades ago. Baldur’s gate was originally released in the late 90’s. Maybe it isn’t for you, but I’m not you :)

      I think their decision with the pick is game that had the biggest impact and was talked about the best, not the best gameplay imho
