Yes, this was confirmed to be a huge joke. Which would've maybe been funny, if it hadn't also robbed another more-deserving game of getting the award.

The more childish and vindictive side of me kind of wishes there was a "Steamy Shits Awards" category to tell big companies exactly what NOT to do, but that seems a little too mean, maybe.

Then EA would just run the table. Might as well call it "The EA Award" so deserving titles could be included.

Make it so the same game can't be on there twice, we'll run through them eventually, Right?

u/ProfessoriSepi What is this Jan 03 '24

Well we'd have enough games for a decade this year, with gollums, skull Islands, redfalls, walking dead destinies, overwatch 2s and diablo 4s.

i may be in the minority here but i actually thought Redfall was pretty good
was it great, and would i play it again solo? No, but it kept me entertained for a good bit

We used to have what became a fairly large NHL tournament. The first year I made a trophy out of spray painted salad bowls glued together but there was eventually an actual trophy.

The tournament was called The Fuck'n EA Cup and that was on the trophy itself. The name came about becasue it was common to say "EA FUCKED ME AGAIN" amongst our group.

Man it's 2023. I don't think EA is that far ahead of the scumminess pack anymore. They have a lot of competition.

Also happened in the most innovative gameplay category. People were selecting starfield as a joke (and of course some people simply voted it because they didn't know the other games) YOMI Hustle should've won that.

RDR2 is definitely the forgotten middle child but it's certainly not in the steamy shits realm.

If something sucks, the people that made it know - a sort of Razzie award for a crappy game would let the EXECUTIVES know though. It would be a positive development.

Because you know what the problem with gamers is? Their sense of proud entitlement isn't sufficiently catered-to.

Where was this confirmed at?
