Emma Stone gave a brilliant, deserving performance. It's very shitty that The AV Club made an article for all of the major category winners except for Stone.

Stone certainly has the leg up (pun!) over Gladstone by being a tour de force in Poor Thing, she carries the movie front and center. While Gladstone was a great revelation, she also part of the large ansemble of esteemed actors doing great acting in that movie. That dimmed the spotlight on her a bit.

Sure, there were snubs (Lily Gladstone)

True, though they’re also more likely to give your game negative reviews on Steam, Metacritic, etc. As a general rule, when you’re running a business, you want to minimize negative PR as much as possible. It’s better to just ignore the whiners than to engage with them in an antagonistic manner.

It’s not really the correct response if you’re running a business and trying to sell a product to customers. That’s why PR training exists and why employees without said training usually aren’t allowed to interact with customers.

You infiltrated the group?: I think you just joined it.

“hi! you can’t be racist against white people! thanks for tuning in!” - Alyssa Mercante

Im sure these comments will be filtered with people that only agree, but youknow how people despise backseating and being told what to do? How is people you dont know telling you what you SHOULD and SHOULDNT be allowed to see or whats right in their media with 0 input from the actual consumers not the exact same thing?…

The truth is very simple: SBI workers call themselves talented narrative designers but in fact they aren’t. That’s why their messages are implemented very poorly, look absolutely out of place and ruin the flow of the story. Alan Wake 2 was saved by Sam Lake, who is really talented narrator. Other games weren’t so…

“Late last month, one of the company’s consultants discovered a Steam group dedicated to “detecting” games that Sweet Baby Inc. has worked on.”

The ceo of the company says that they threatened a marketing department with the idea of being cancelled.

And this folks, is why Kotaku isn’t credible journalism. Why not a valid mention to the racist tweets from the CEO? How is that not worth a full paragraph? Clown world.

you forgot some points.
1) it is not even fair to just talk with a company to hear their defensive lines and than just hiding in a group of 2000 people, pick 1-2 guys out and ask them about the defensive lines of the company......imagine we would switch this up.
Hear all our official arguments from our founder in a hour…

Nice try but there is already a video of sweetbaby ceo talking about how they warn companies that if they don’t do what sweetbaby says they will canceled on social media, she actually says that the point is to threaten companies in order to follow the woke agenda. Go woke go broke.

Says the ideologically aligned journo

take note how fast the discussion suddenly went again to how female-led films can’t make money after the Marvels bombed hard

Should be titled “Kotaku Readers Do Our Work For Us.”

One of the best-selling and highest rated games of that year… “underrated”.

Don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone ever refer to Horizon as “underrated”

I know everything is opinion, but god damn I love how absurd it looks when you guys post articles like this.
