Sweet! May the best game win… Or rather, the game with the most votes.

Thank you for listening to the feedback about last year’s voting process! Glad to see there wasn’t a “prediction” system this time around.

I just died inside.


Maybe this year an actually innovative game may win?
Maybe?

Either I have missed it or why do some categories just don’t exist but exist throughout the place? These categories are

Best Studio
Best Use of Audio and Voice
Best Use of IP
Best Use of Tech
Best Creative Direction
Best Collabarition
Best Use of Immersive Marketing

(if i made a mistake then lmk)

Or are these not up to our decision?

For reference

How is this game nominated for Best Use of Tech, Best Creative Direction and Best Roleplay / Avatar Sim when they are Retro Slop cash grabs that has nothing advanced or special about their tech, extremely basic creative direction and no roleplay or avatar sim? ButI guess it’ll probably win anyways.

They are choosen by Roblox employees

I believe Roblox themselves decide this, as most users won’t know what to vote for as they won’t know terms like “best IP”

there’s totally a bribe going on the owner of dobig apparently bribed staff for a bloxy, wouldn’t be surprised if that’s happening again with his seemingly limitless money

I really hope pressure wins the best use of audio! It’s like the only really good game being nominated (imo)

No hate to these games but these are all some pretty sad selections.

Perhaps someone here can let me know what are their strategic strategies for winning a strategic battle in the hit strategic video interactive media experience “Forsaken”?

What do you all mean you dont dress up and roleplay in dusty trip and grow a garden!? i though grow a garden was all about roleplaying as a garden!!

I didnt know grow a garden featured advanced physics simulations.

Roblox did not need to remove actually significant genres like that :sob:

I suspect that either some kind of bribery is going on, or that this selection was only constructed purely through use of an algorithm with absolutely no quality checking or screening for whether or not it actually fits certain categories

Where did the “Best Horror Experience” came from? I’m pretty sure we didn’t have it as an option when nominating. I wonder who nominated these games then? Games like The Mimic and Pressure were robbed because there wasn’t a specific category for them :confused:
