Recently the highly acclaimed video game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 made headlines by receiving multiple awards at The Game Awards (which is a video game award ceremony that kind of replaced the older Spike Video Game Awards), which is pretty much considered the "Oscars" ceremony of video games.
Even more recently the same game made again headlines by having its "game of the year" title revoked... by the "Indie Game Awards" organization.
A good majority of people are very angry at TGA for this travesty and are throwing shit at them.
What they don't realize (and what a lot of outlets are failing to clearly communicate) is that the "Indie Game Awards", or IGA, is not the same organization as "The Game Awards", or TGA.
The IGA is a completely separate, different organization that has nothing to do with TGA.
And, in fact, the IGA is completely irrelevant, and a total joke. It's an extremely small organization (so small that they don't even have their own Wikipedia page), and it's staffed by leftist activists, and nobody cares about them.
Honestly, I don't even understand why such a completely irrelevant joke of an organization revoking their own award for the game even made headline news. NOBODY CARES about the IGA. They are completely irrelevant, and a complete joke.
But, most importantly, the IGA is not the TGA. The latter has nothing to do with it.
The only travesty here is that the IGA, just by their choice of name, gets to soil the reputation of the million-times more reputable TGA.
