Yeah it’s wild and they pretty much got away with it too. Marketers hyped up Indies, using Ubisoft as a sacrificial lamb.
Try telling them Expedition 33 is a fake indie and they’re like “30-person team, champ. The State of AAA 😏.” Like what the fuck are they talking about. That’s the same team size as Metroid Prime 1, which also had a Publisher. Just like them. What the fuck. These Losers are just captivated by the narrative and want a Reprieve from the State of AAA.
This is a situation where even if E33 won GOTY and even if it were nominated in the indie category that the voters should’ve just voted for Silksong imho.
