It’d be really awesome if games that win a Bloxy could have the award pinned on the games page, kind of like how some games have certifications for being “Game of the year”. Similar to what’s seen below.
This would give the Bloxys more meaning, not only to the dev community but for the player base as a whole. Otherwise, after a dev receives a Bloxy, it’s pretty much lost in space, I don’t even remember who else won a Bloxy last year besides jailbreak. Doing this would also help the game leave its mark within Roblox, especially if it forever has this stamp.
This is an example of what I’d imagine it’d look like.
Support, I believe winning a Bloxy should be awarded more than just a gear for your in-game avatar.
For example, what if you won a Bloxy but you also want people to know you participated in/won the RDC game jam? You can only display one award at a time, as they’re only gears.
I can’t say I support this idea for the Bloxy awards specifically. My view of the Bloxy awards is way too much of a popularity contest over something that is subjectively or objectively better.
Even though my game has won several, I don’t think the Bloxy awards are a good representation of quality across the platform. Having them prominently visible on the game details page wouldn’t be fair to the majority of games that don’t receive one, and it would also have the effect of driving more players to the already majorly popular games out there. Games on the platform are constantly changing as well, and having won the 2012 “Game of the Year” award might not apply to the place/game that is currently active.
I feel like the current categorization of the game page is enough to differentiate between quality games and popular games. Perhaps if something passes a certain threshold on their like ratio that get a special icon or something like “User-approved” tag for games with 95%+ like ratios. I don’t think BLOXY’s represent the core demographic of Roblox and they are skewed in favor of certain studios/individuals with pull,
