Cyberpunk 2077 is decent now, maybe even good.
Its not all it was promised to be, but still pretty good!
Phantom Liberty has even made at least one member of TheGamers GOTY list.
All of these games, bar Cyberpunk, are live-service games.
That means theyre getting prolonged profits by continuously creating value and monetising after their initial download.
These games usually have seasons.
Apex Legends is ongoing.
The ultimate edition is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in a new, heavily patched form.
This raises the question: who decides what games are nominated for each category?
But how on earth that could extend to Cyberpunk 2077 being considered an ongoing game is completely beyond me.
In contrast, Cyberpunks updates havent been so much to content as they have been to fix the experience.
One paid expansion does not an ongoing game make.
Maybe hell get Taylor Swift to announce the GOTY in 2024 and hope that makes up for it.
The Game Awards 2023 showed more than ever that the industry needs to have more self-respect and self-esteem.
