In 2024, the composition of the jury for The Game Awards is once again raising eyebrows as it includes a significant number of non-gaming media outlets. This year, the decisions regarding the prestigious awards will be influenced by publications focused on economics, politics, film, and celebrity culture, rather than solely on video game expertise. Critics argue that this trend may detract from the authenticity and integrity of the awards, as the voices of seasoned gamers and industry professionals are overshadowed by those with little to no background in gaming.
The inclusion of these diverse media outlets aims to broaden the perspective on gaming as a cultural phenomenon. However, many in the gaming community are concerned that this approach could lead to awards being given based on popularity or media buzz rather than the quality and innovation of the games themselves. As the event approaches, the debate continues regarding the impact of this jury composition on the future of The Game Awards and its credibility within the gaming industry.
