FFXIV & FFXVI nominated for two categories at the 'Game of the Year Awards' each.

FFXIV's fanbase is really quick to dismiss any criticism or complaining, but they don't realize that people care enough to complain. The problem is when they stop caring and just leave.

Where? Genuinely where is this the case? On these forums saying anything even remotely positive about the game gets you called a shill and a white knight, Reddit is entirely people complaining between fan art posts, same with Twitter.
Where is this mythical place where all criticism is shut down instantly? Even earlier in this thread I said FFXIV had a great track record on patch consistency despite its other flaws and I was called a white knight trying to say this game had no flaws.

I challenge someone to make a single thread with just something positive about the game and have it go for even 2 pages without a bunch of "oh you're just reacting to the negativity" comments.

This mythical place of shutting down any negativity doesn't exist.

Deadass though, the forums for this game are almost getting as bad as the ones for WoW with all the doomsday shiz and just complaining in an echo chamber.

It really doesnt. Its just the other side of people lacking a backbone and feel like they need to validate themselves somehow that "oh its just them".

Its a lot more open to criticize the game and not get shit for it than saying something positive and being called a shill.

If you think this is bad, check out the discussion subreddit, that sub is an echo chamber of people who exclusively play Savage and Ultimate. It seems like every other day they're having a meltdown about something related to Eureka or the 2 minute meta and talking about how it's so over if SE doesn't change course immediately.

To me it's hard to justify an award for a game who was just fine and took absolutely no risks... (FF16)

And that has less RPG in it than a Call of Duty game.

I'm fully expecting for Baldur's Gate 3 to sweep most of the awards it's being nominated for. It's nice to see RE4 Remake get nominated for GOTY even though I know it won't be winning it.

I'm hoping to see some news on the Elden Ring DLC, myself

Oh crap i forgot we might get new Elden Ring DLC news! I've been waiting for that as well! And i agree BG3 pretty much deserves ALL the awards.
