Title: Do gaming awards represent the community well enough?
Post by: Jubal on October 25, 2013, 03:38:25 PM

I just came up with this as an interesting discussion topic: it's the Golden Joysticks today, one of the larger gaming awards ceremonies. There are a load of categories for different sort of game - indie, best storytelling etc - but no awards for modding or community groups/sites other than YouTube game shows. Surely if YT channels get an award game sites and modders, equally critical parts of most game communities, should? What do you all think?

I agree Jubal, I think you should get the Golden Joystick award too. ;D

Thankyou, Khan, though I think that's unlikely regardless.  :P

Yeah, it'd be something like DayZ or some other big modding project.

Isn't there some kind of mod of the year award on ModDB given in several different categories?
