Because the selection criteria are different.

It may also be that the two awards look at each other unpleasantly, so both sides are very interested in their own unique standards.

For example, for a ball game that is played once a year, this kind of popular game, GDC, the developers of the Global Game Developers Conference, it is impossible for those developers to give the best game to this type of game, only the judges of the VGA, those senior game media editors, will vote for these games that have no connotation, and make them the best of the year.

And like "Wanda and the Colossus", "Journey" is unlikely to be accepted by the VGA judges.

Although many of them like this kind of game very much, their standard is the player's favorite, this player, not a very small number of core players like them, but those ordinary players who account for the majority, and the game they recognize the most, is the one they will choose.

They can't choose according to their own intentions.

Of course, it's nothing new in the industry that GTAs aren't being treated well by GDC judges, and there's a lot of discussion about why GTAs aren't welcome.

Although some people say that GTA is a day off, every time a new GTA game comes out, there will be a game of the same heavyweight released that year, so it is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries when the two power compete.

However, there is also an argument that GDC is representing game developers after all, and they still have to be face-saving, and their work ethic makes it impossible for them to vote for a game that promotes violence and sexuality, otherwise their conscience will be disturbed.

Just like what Confucius said, the initiator has no aftermath.

Games like GTA5 are adult games in any country. Minors are not exposed to anything, but as an adult, who does not know how simple it is for them to be exposed to similar things as children.

So, these things don't work much at all.

Although they have a good time, they are also afraid that their children will be affected by this game and something bad will happen.

And the sentence that Confucius said about the initiator, its meaning of no aftermath, is similar. Those who use people for burial, are you not afraid that you will have no offspring?

Of course, these claims are all speculation, and no one can explain them.

Actually, Jester was a little curious.

If GTA5 really came out in '14, wouldn't the people at GDC really give it the best of the year given by the quality of GTA5?

"I didn't expect it to be called VGA."

Jester was also a little surprised when he first heard about these new annual awards, he didn't expect that these awards established by major game media would be the same as the name of the awards he later knew was also established by game media, in fact. As his "GAME" magazine, as the world's largest game media, it is also one of the initiators of this award.

Of course, in fact, some game media have seen some annual awards in the game industry, all of which are in the hands of GDC. And they don't have much to say, they naturally have a lot of opinions.

After all, public opinion is the one power they want to wield most.

So, several major media. There are televisions and newspapers, but there are no websites, and websites are still very weak as media. There is no influence on the existence of zài, they are the media united, ready to do their annual game selection, of course, the setting of the award is also a copycat GDC award, but this thing has no patent rights, GDC award setting is also a copycat Oscar These large film awards.

However, VGA is an emerging award, and if he wants to catch up, GDC, which has already established an authoritative position in the industry, still has a long way to go, and not only will it take time to bridge the gap, but more importantly, they will have to make a surprise move to be able to turn defeat into victory.

And the people who organize and plan the VGA are naturally not stupid, they have a deep understanding of this.

They have to do something that GDC won't do, for example, the judges of GDC are some proud and arrogant game designers, and their award criteria are also from the perspective of a designer, and if VGA wants to survive, his criteria must be different from GDC, since their selection criteria are developer-oriented, then VGA's selection criteria are player-oriented.

To prove their point, they accept a vote from players after the candidates are announced each year.

Of course, this is not to say that every player is eligible to vote, because this is an award organized by several major game media and game publications, so only those players who have subscribed to these publications or shows are eligible to vote.

It can't be a short-term order, it must be a long-term order.

In order to make the organizer's explanation very simple, that is, in order to make the selected games more authoritative, voters are required to have a more detailed understanding of the game market and environment in the past year, so they must be senior players to be able to participate in the selection, so how to distinguish who is a senior player and who is not, who has a deep understanding of the game environment in the past year and who does not.

That's not going to be easy.

However, a person who can subscribe to a certain game channel or game journal for a whole year is always more senior than those who do not subscribe or buy, and have a better understanding of the game environment in the past year.

After all, it is not a few decades later, when online media is developed, and you can go online casually, move the mouse, and know all the news.

Now, if you want to know the news of an industry, you must always pay attention to these programs or buy newspapers.

Such a standard cannot be considered unreasonable, and the players have no opinion.

Of course, this year is only the second session, and it is naturally not so simple to snatch the title of the most authoritative award in the game industry from GDC in just two years, however, the first session last year they still did a good job, after all, it was organized by various media to set up this award, and the publicity efforts could not be small, but despite this, this award is still not as authoritative as GDC.

When many players discuss the game of the year, they always talk about how it is on the GDC, and they don't talk about how the VGA is at all.

Even many players who don't pay much attention to this aspect may have heard of GDC, but VGA may not have heard of it. (To be continued......)
