Yeah I don't get the hubbub from all these sites? What are they expecting? Social justice and equality?

The whole thing is a marketing event with the awards there purely to hype people up over the most popular games. It's completely the wrong platform for what I keep reading all these people ask for, considering it's being funded by the games publishers themselves. If that was the case, they wouldn't bother paying to advertise their games.
