This is an interesting perspective on the Best RPG category at The Game Awards. It’s always great to see discussions that challenge the status quo and encourage fresh thinking. Looking forward to seeing how this conversation develops!
explore how the nominations reflect the evolving landscape of RPGs. I think it’s also worth considering how player feedback can influence future categories, especially as indie games gain more recognition in the genre.
