Yeah. Some people watch the awards for the trailers too. Like I'll be honest, I don't really care much about who won what at this point. As far as I'm concerned, as long as people like David "I don't make games for f-ggots" Cage or Quantic Dream (David ~~"I'm so misogynistic I drove Elliot Page out of the closet"~~ Cage's company) are still eligible to receive awards then the game awards don't actually mean anything. I just like the trailers and was very excited about Sega's announcement.

Edit: I'd read somewhere that Elliot Page said that David Cage was one of the contributing factors to him deciding to publicly come out as a trans man, or something along those lines, but I can't find it now so I might be thinking of someone else?

I know David cage is problematic but what is that thing about Elliot page you are alluding to? I haven't heard of that. Of course I know he was in beyond two souls so must have worked with cage but that's the extent of my knowledge

~~Iirc Elliott credits David Cage with being such a horrifying misogynist that he decided to come out of the closet (he's a trans man) so he wouldn't have to deal with that again. The amount of effort and risk involved with being a public figure who is trans should drive home just how horrible of a person David Cage is.~~

Edit: I just looked it up and I can't figure out where I read that. I may have been thinking of someone else? Regardless, David Cage is a massive misogynist and Quantic Dream is known for being an extremely toxic work environment.
