heard from a very reliable source reggie was furious that federation force didn't get any nominations but a metroid fan game was up for an award so he sent a very angry 3 am phone call to geoff keighley demanding either federation force win an award or am2r be removed. geoff made the right call in my opinion

Other companies are cool about it because they have actual reasons to be. Valve has a vested interest in people promoting their engines and service and in monetizing those fan creations. No poo poo they're more permissive about it. They're not doing it because they ~~love the fans so much~~

It's tiresome seeing people pretend like companies care the smallest iota about them and are 'nice' to them because they love video games. They don't. They want your money. If they felt a fan work seriously offered a risk at getting your money they would shut it down in a second. Pointing at other companies and going "They do it! Why doesn't (X)" should be met with "So why do those other companies do it?" And if anyone unironically gives the answer of "because they like their fans" then they deserve to be laughed at.

i dont think anyone is actually saying any of these faceless megacorporations are nice guys, but that it is nice when they treat fan games in certain ways, my dude. also your av loving sucks

Yes, that is... a logical reading of anything anyone said in this conversation?

i have problems understanding hyperbole in posts that are obviously not serious as well.
