The PC Gaming Show spent about 10 minutes explaining how exactly they picked the titles, what algorithms they used, which statistic models they tried etc. The chat went bonkers, absolutely silly, but props to the PC Gamer explaining all the math, because The Game Awards just has that huge jury and we need to accept their picks, and that's it. Feel the difference. But the chat was too stupid to understand any of that.

it's funny to me that Indiana jones was written by George Lucas after he completed episode 6 of star wars and named Indiana after his dog..in the mid 80s lol he was more of a story teller executive visionary than a director.

At the very least, for the speech by Swen Vincke about the gaming industry.
