Sacred Symbols+, Episode 348 | Perusing the 2023 Game Awards' Nominees List (Patreon)

It's getting late in the calendar year, which means an increasingly-relevant tradition is primed to take place: Geoff Keighley's annual Game Awards (which we once knew as the VGAs back when). The show itself doesn't take place until early December; thus, we thought we'd take some time to prepare ourselves for some potential outcomes, mixing through some (but not all) of the categories in order to pass judgment. Sacred Symbols' audience knows that the three of us don't really care about The Game Awards, apart from the various announcements that come between the winners being announced. But it's still a cultural event worth taking note of... even if we're concerned that some judges don't know the definitions of words like "independent" and "adventure game." C'est la vie.
