that’s a bit of a stretch. Whole story is “Bad guys are actually sorta good, because good guys are corrupt”. This is definitely part of the woke philosophy that replacing hypocrisy with evil is ok.
Blizz bought the nomination with D4 sales. D4 does not deserve game awards at this time.

Sure but even that qualifies for the award. Have you played other games recently?
Yeah given the rest of blizzards stable, i think i should have a negative multiplier on money spent in the game until they prove they’re not going to do that here. These corporate things don’t care about anything.

The idea that it would even be considered for nomination either shows how badly all other multiplayer games were in 2023 or how badly people live and breath nostalgia and mistake that as quality.
If you replaced the title of Diablo 4 with a totally different IP, this game would be sent back into Early Access by now, not nominated for any awards.

I have not played much recently, I barely have time to play D4. Sorry.
I kinda knew D4 story is going to be something dumb so I skipped every single dialog and cut scene. I only know the “main storyline” from an article discussing it. And yeah, I’m glad I skipped it.
Blizzard is an entertainment company so they release content that they think will appeal to most consumers. One company releases a movie about “bad guys are actually good” and it sells, another company does same, then another. They’re gonna keep doing it until it stops making money.
Here’s a true story. Our office was ordering coffee; I was asked if I had a preference. I looked on the list and literally picked the least woke name “Colonial Blend”. We’ve been drinking that for over a year now.
It is disliked by a loud minority…
someone made a huge mistake lol, this game and multiplayer experience in one sentence is the biggest joke I have ever heard.
The game does have multiplayer. Just because most people would rather kill inanimate unthinking pve monsters that take very little skill now and can be one shotted with both eyes closed and a hand tied behind your back does not mean it doesnt exist. Many people enjoy the pvp side of diablo 4.
The difference is, everyone can make a build to beat pve content. The same cannot be said for the fields.
While it certainly does not belong in that category, I do think people often are having a bit narrow view on multiplayer. Feels like they sometimes equals multiplayer with MMO.
A couch coop game is multiplayer too. It does not need group finders and whatever else it is some people think is missing here.
It Takes Two won both Multiplayer, and Game of the Year, in TGA a few years back. I don’t believe it has a group finder.
Heck, some of the other multiplayer nominees this year; Mario Wonder and Baldurs Gate 3, are good examples of this too.
D4 might be a game with severe issues, but the basic plug and play multiplayer functions well enough tbh. I still don’t see it deserving a nomination for best multiplayer of course, as you need a good game beneath that multiplayer for it to matter. Being functional is hardly going to cut it.
The game awards have been a joke for years now, not sure why anyone takes them seriously. Just look at the awards as a popularity contest and assume the most popular games will beat the best games.
yeah all “awards” are pay to win. I once got something in the mail at work that says my company could “win” best place to work if I only sent them $25,000…
Some people take the game awards rather serious. Its a big deal to win one. Especially if you’re an indie company or released a game for the first time and it wins.
They probably test games in the same way as Blizzard. 
over advertise and under deliver?
Like with the back payments for Academy awards nominations…Blizz probably paid for a nomination for a random category and drew that slot.
D4 best multiplayer? It doesnt even have the same grouping options D3 did with bounties and such so now we gotta join a discord to get a Duriel Rota. Pathetic. That is some good weed they smokin at The Game Awards

There’s no way weed was involved. This is acid or shrooms for sure.
If blizzard wins for multiplayer, we’ll get will smith to slap the award givers straight.
