>>107662913The thing is that popularity contests are complete shitshows as seen with gachatrash winning the fan vote at TGA for example. Hell even twitterpolls in the vtuber space are completely insufferable to witness because you get shit like Gigi the yaoi fan beating Miko in a poll about being the biggest lesbian.
They probably have some form of jury voting because some categories were won by absolute literalwhos nobody knows so there's no way they got voted for.
Jury voting isn't necessarily bad so long as they know what the fuck they're doing because a lot of times there's a simply "correct" winner. OBVIOUSLY rigged shitshows like the streaming awards give the whole process a bad reputation. But comparatively The Game Awards are fine for how much worse it could be (ie. sucking off AAA games and industry plants)
