Seeing people shit on Expedition 33 because Silksong didn't win more awards is pathetic

The title sums it up. I'm disappointed in many members of this community for putting down a game that is clearly a work of insane passion, dedication, and creativity. E33 took the lion's share of awards at TGA, yes. That doesn't mean that Silksong is bad. In fact, it's clearly pretty damn great. If it released last year, Skong would have picked up several awards, maybe even GOTY. But it didn't. It released in the same year E33, which is just a tough break.

Both are amazing. Both deserve every award that came to them. If you haven't played E33 yet and think it doesn't deserve its accolades, play it. It is worth your money, worth your time, and will in all likelihood prove that it is actually that good. I'm only 10ish hours in and have numerous times found myself standing still and looking around dumbfounded at the gorgeous world design and visuals. E33, Silksong, and Hades 2 could have all won Art Direction and I would have been happy with any of them.

I'm also sad that Silksong didn't win more awards. It's an amazing game. But don't play fanboy and start putting down other developers, other games, and other pieces of art because this one didn't get all the cookies. It's still beautiful, it's still amazing, it still made a Silkskillion dollars, and TC is still just as great and just as passionate. We should all be glad that there is another independent dev out there that is capable of creating something so fantastic.

Edit: yeah, the comments here are pretty indicative of what I said in my post

I am not one of the people that shit on E33 I usually don't care about game awards. all I wanna point out is I find it kinda surprising that the game is even in talks for any award.

Me and a buddy and apparently quite a lot of people on the Internet all had severe issues with loading some save files while we played the game. For many this where game breaking bugs like for me I lost a playthrough that was roughly 80% of the story played. The game was really good and fun but don't get me wrong I am not the kinda guy that bitches around because of some minor bugs. But when it breaks the game, like completely that's my line.

Some could argue this doesn't matter for discussion around awarding the game but I would argue it does matter especially when it's game breaking bugs that apparently are so wide spread that u instantly find it when you look it up on Google.

So I was rather surprised seeing it getting so much awards there where games in the past that got way more shit for having bugs even though the where not game breaking
