Michael Saba | The "Game of the Year" and the End of Elite Opinion @MichaelSaba | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
The "GOTY discourse" was so rotten, it forced THE OUTRAGED GAMER to rise from an unquiet grave. Ghost of Tsushima VS Last of Us 2 VS Hades VS Animal Crossing enter the Thunderdome: It's time for a little discussion about 2020, games media and journalism, and how so many outlets seemed to miss (or ignore) the biggest story of the year.
(Can you believe it took me THIS long to include a Chomsky clip in one of my videos?!)
