    The Game Awards were last night, and while the ceremony is meant to celebrate the best games of the year, it's getting a lot of backlash for a perceived lack of respect for the developers that actually make said games.

    One of the major points of criticism is the short amount of time winning devs were given in their speeches, being told to "wrap it up" via the teleprompter after about 30 seconds, with music being played shortly after that. As many noted, this stood in especially stark contrast to the time that was devoted to celebrities and special guests.

    All in all, it reignited a recurring complaint that The Game Awards is more about the announcements than the actual awards. By IGN's estimations, the time spent on the awards and speeches was only about 30 minutes and 42 seconds out of the total two-hour and 52-minute runtime of the show, not including the pre-show.
