Episode 6: What is the purpose of "game of the year" awards?
Christa and Sophia discuss what exactly Game of the Year is meant to serve, from the history of the awards, to the invisible, arbitrary criteria of arbitrary critics-turned-entertainers, then to its purpose as a capitalist tool for industry and consumption, as well as how it is a cultural process to compartmentalise the medium. Then they talk about their GOTY picks, anyway.
