Best RPG and not even officially released yet?o_O

Some games in other categories are not released yet either.

So unless this event is late this year or early next year then okay.

Edit: Nope it says August August 25 – August 27.:lol:

They're "most wanted consumer awards" ;)

Okay I could see the point if they said best upcoming/unreleased game X instead though. As basing your opinion off videos or closed beta's is not a good idea.

Look at Cyberpunk 2077 for reference.:p

I admit it's not super-obvious in the description, one could interpret those (most wanted and best streamers) are only two categories for which we can already vote.

If I understand correctly, the nominees must be new games that are presented at gamescom:

About the Award

Every year, the gamescom award ceremony is organized by the Digital Gaming Culture Foundation as part of gamescom. The gaming award honors the best new games presented at gamescom.

PS: in the streamers, I only know Fextralife…

Looks like this festival is sponsored by Bandai Namco Entertainment, they've got their game Elden Ring in 5 different lists, and 9 nominations total (I haven't checked if they were among the streamers too) :p
