Dispatch fans demand to remove gacha from The Game Awards – Game News

This year’s The Game Awards didn’t bring too many big surprises. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “swept” the awards ceremony, becoming the most successful game in the event’s history (that’s right, “beating” all Baldur’s Gate 3). Grand Theft Auto 6 win prize Most Anticipated Game (Most Anticipated Game)while The Muppets Miss Piggy came to “flirt” with Geoff Keighley.

However, work Dispatch Being almost “absent” from the nomination list before the event is considered a surprise, especially when this game has been very popular since its release.

Dispatch received only two nominations: Best Debut Independent Game (Best indie developer’s debut game) and Players’ Voice.

Of course, work Dispatch to lose Clair Obscur in the “Best Debut Indie” category was predictable, but the key point lies in the remaining awards, when a large-scale fan campaign to win the “Players’ Voice” category was launched before the awards night.

This campaign helps Dispatch Reached the final Top 5, surpassing many “heavyweight” opponents such as Elden Ring: Nightreign, Mario Kart World and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. However, the game’s journey also stops here.

Dispatch unexpectedly lost… Wuthering Wavesa gacha game also passed Clair Obscur, Silksong and Genshin Impact to win – what drives the fan community Dispatch can’t help but be angry!

Gacha games often give in-game rewards to players if they vote for the game at “Players’ Voice” voting awards, and with a large player base, this offers a huge advantage.

The same tactic is said to have helped Genshin Impact win in 2022, when the game promises rewards for winning – and fan Dispatchlike community Sonic previously, thought this was unfair.

“Wuthering Waves and Genshin Impact are all gacha games, and developers often promise free spins in exchange for winning votes. That is truly bribery,” Reddit user La_Volpa commented. Controversy surrounding the victory of Genshin Impact 2022 was so “hot” that The Game Awards had to directly investigate allegations of prize buying.

With many fan Dispatchthe only solution is to completely ban gacha games from this category. “Many people may object, but gacha games should be excluded from this award,” user HeppyHenry wrote, while Min_Effort_Name added: “If there is a reward to encourage voting, it should not be entered.” These two comments have received more than 2,000 “upvotes”.

Many people emphasize that the bigger problem lies in the “ethics” and “transparency” aspects of how games win at the “Players’ Voice” awards. While Dispatch is considered to have a natural campaign from the community, the victory of Wuthering Waves is said to come from a “reward advantage” rather than pure support.
