- Shroud expresses disappointment over Arc Raiders being absent from the GOTY contender list.
- He threw shade at the bias at the TGA.
- Arc Raiders is still nominated for the Best Multiplayer Game, which it will likely win.
The Game Awards show will be held next month, but we already have a look at this year’s GOTY nominees. While the competition is tight this year due to quality AA and indie releases, the final list was pretty satisfactory, at least for some.
One popular gaming figure isn’t happy with the nominees as he thinks that the list was rigged. Shroud critiqued The Game Awards for not putting forward Arc Raiders as a contender for GOTY by calling it ‘yet another rigged year.’
Why it matters: Arc Raiders has become one of the best multiplayer releases of this year, even taking an edge over the likes of Battlefield 6 and Black Ops 7. As such, it makes sense why Shroud wanted it to win GOTY.
Reacting to the GOTY nominees list on stream, the popular Twitch streamer wasn’t shy of expressing his thoughts as he even threw shade at the host Geoff Keighley by saying,’Bias paid off Nintendo.’
It’s no secret that Keighley has a strong relationship with Nintendo due to their frequent collaborations in award ceremonies. Furthermore, the host is also a close friend of Hideo Kojima.
Even so, Donkey Kong Bananza and Death Stranding 2 were solid releases, and whether they were deserving of the GOTY nomination is all subjective at the end of the day.
Still, Arc Raiders didn’t go entirely unnoticed as it was nominated in the Best Multiplayer Game category and is likely to win against competitors like Elden Ring, Split Fiction, Battlefield 6, and Peak.
