Update (Nov 17, 2021)

 

Since posting this article, I received a flurry of information from members of The Game Awards jury, as well as game developers themselves which add some important additional context as to why Forza specifically didn't make the grade this year.

 

Geoff Keighley has stated on Twitter that Forza Horizon 5 was indeed eligible for this year's awards, with the cut-off date being set at November 19. However, game journalists were told they had to submit their picks by November 4th. Forza Horizon 5's early access period didn't begin until the 5th, which calls into question just how much eligibility it had in real terms.

In Geoff Keighley's defense, they do include additional information in the email pack to Jury members, informing them that ballots can be altered up until November 11. However, I was told that this information isn't highlighted clearly enough, and not enough time was given in general.

 

My take is ultimately, I get it, it's hard building award shows, lining up timings, review embargos, and all of that, on top of the existing busy Q4 period. That just accentuates my point that if Jury members didn't have enough time to properly assess a game that is eligible in 2021 but won't be eligible in 2022, it calls into question the general fairness of the award process. Veteran game developers should also be on the panel to offer their insight and perspective, which often diverges wildly from games press, perhaps partially due to how secretive the industry can be. I heard today from a musician who noted that their gaming OST work had enjoyed more streaming plays across streaming sites than all the other nominations from that year combined. I also heard that publishers' marketing departments who are familiar with the process go to extra lengths to provide access as early as possible before the ballot cut-off date, to increase their chances of being of being considered.

 

I think ultimately everybody wants The Game Awards to be as good as it can be, if we have all collectively decided it is the de facto game award show. By not including game devs in the Jury, by not giving enough breathing space to the games themselves, it's hard to understand how they could be considered completely fair. Should they even be fair? Does anyone really care that much? I've never watched the Oscars personally, but hey, it all depends on what your expectations are for these types of events. It is completely my opinion that the weight of scrutiny over the years seems to favor cinematic action games, but maybe I'm taking it all a bit too seriously, but I'm not a game dev. It's like I said above — game devs of all stripes do deserve to be celebrated in a big way, but a big fair way, where the weight of opinion doesn't fall on a relatively few number of overworked, pressed-for-time game journalists who probably haven't even played most of the games that have been nominated this year. It falls on a wider conversation about the constraints of game criticism and the relationships between press and marketing in general, but I digress.

 

I appreciate what Geoff and his team seem to be trying to bring to the games industry, and I think most of us here do too. But, Forza seems to have been screwed by the process here. This isn't about platform wars as some love to suggest because oh no we are Windows Central after all. This could've happened to Gran Turismo, or Super Smash Bros, or any other game that you think deserved the top celebration. Geoff Keighley has shown himself to be willing to evolve The Game Awards, though, so I suspect things may change again next year.

Guys, please stop projecting the entire Twitterverse in this thread. Outside a couple of people, no one gives a sh*t about nominations/GOTY.

Awards in any industry, especially entertainment are shams and most people in the industry are aware of that.

 

Just look at what's happening in music & film industry.

It's almost always a sh*t show. Keeping expectations low for new announcements so that I can be surprised later.

Yeah WC is clueless as always. This HAS happened to Gran Turismo before Forza was even a sperm, and has happened to Mario Kart. Forza is not some special snowflake. Smash Bros somehow managed to sneak in because Nintendo needs to be represented. Geoff can't do anything about it other than forcing journos to submit votes for racers, fighting games and RTS. That's like asking companies to hire black people just so you get some diversity.

Bro we all know what’s different this time. 
Forza was being projected as the second coming of Jesus from the very start. 
 

It was being displayed like nothing of this sort has happened in gaming before,every single youtuber was displaying it & louding it(for what reason we all know). 

 

Goal was simple,get the long lost hype on Xbox first party back.

Since launch it has died down coz more & more ppl realised that it’s more of the same.

 

We’ve had 4 Forza Horizon games on XBONE alone & never saw this sort of hype ever before 

 

It was never poised to be nominated for GOTY as history speaks for itself,but since there was so much hype around it getting best reviews for the year….it gave a feeling to long time fans that something is not right “for the first time”.
