Do gaming awards represent the community well enough?
« 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
Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

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?
