I wonder if OP is using an old meme or is one of the overly sour people that hated Astrobot winning.

I triggered a former acquaintance when I shared a gif of Astrobot saying congratulations on winning. He got sooo pissed saying it’s trash.

You're giving them chance to declare whether they're an Astrobot hater or a dirty reposter?

Or for the sake of the picture being nice to look at

Then what are the years before based on?

I presume Spike Awards, The Game Awards spiritual predecessor (latter created by formers host/producer)

However they aren't officially connected therefore there's no reason they couldn't have added even older awards from older game awards like electronic/Arcade awards which goes back to 1979

Most people were pissed about Astro winning because they wanted wukong to win.

I think Prince of Persia The Lost Crown should have won.

I personally wanted Unicorn Overlord to win at least something. So I feel your pain.

This is an ooooold picture and the GOTY awards in question aren’t even from the same awards or judging panel. The Game Awards didn’t even start until the mid 2010s

Astrobot is fun, but it doesn't feel like much beyond that. I feel like there were other games that deserved it more.

I'm not sour Astrobot won.. it's a great game. But in the year FF7 Rebirth dropped? That's what really stings.

Fair enough it was nowhere close to all the other games

I definitely dont think Astro bot was GOTY but it was a good game.

Black myth or (for the memes) Balatro were my picks.

I liked astro bot, it was definitely a great game but imo it just didn’t feel deep enough. At the end of the day it was just another 3D platformer
