Larian saying it's not Divinity OS 3, so maybe a different spin-off Divinity game

That’s retarded to pay that. People watch the game awards for the trailers, not for the awards or the show itself. It’s not like the Super Bowl. Surprised devs getting conned like this out here. It’d only make sense for smaller/lesser known games but I highly doubt devs like ND are paying for that. In fact I can see Geoff begging them for a trailer

I dont understand how its a rip off, its 150+ million viewed event more than most big sporting events or award shows

Its mostly the publishers that pay for those spots

It’s why game coverage is so lopsided and bias. Coverage is quite literally paid for.

1M is nothing to a big studio like ND. Lots of indies can’t afford that.

It’s not just TGA guilty of this. Publishers pay for coverage on websites as well.
