The Game Award for Game of the Year

Summary

The Game Award for Game of the Year is an award presented annually by The Game Awards. It is given to a video game judged to deliver the best experience across creative and technical fields. The award is traditionally accepted by the game's directors or studio executives. The process begins with over 100 video game publications and websites, which collectively name six games as nominees. After the nominees are selected, the winner is chosen by a combined vote between the jury (90%) and public voting (10%).

Reverted [[WP:AGF|good faith]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/Thatprs59|Thatprs59]] ([[User talk:Thatprs59|talk]]): Per ACCESSIBILITY

Removed the Description at the top of the table as it was innacrate

Thatprs5912/17/2025, 9:00:15 PM

I strongly beleive that double daggers are not needed in the table as the winners are already clearly indicated by 1. Being at the top of the Section 2. Being Bold 3. Being Highlighted. Therefore I belive that the Double daggers are not needed, over the top and unproffesional.

Reverted 1 edit by [[Special:Contributions/JamesTecho|JamesTecho]] ([[User talk:JamesTecho|talk]]): The table itself should be [[MOS:ACCESS|accessible]], not relying solely on a note above it. This is useful, and consistent with other TGA articles. Please [[WP:BRD|start a discussion]] if you feel strongly otherwise.

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1328091641|1328091641]] by [[Special:Contributions/Rhain|Rhain]] ([[User talk:Rhain|talk]]) Screen readers read the note that says 'Winners are listed first'

Reverted 1 edit by [[Special:Contributions/JamesTecho|JamesTecho]] ([[User talk:JamesTecho|talk]]): This is for accessibility purposes; screen readers do not read boldface or yellow backgrounds. Its usage is not [[:Template:Double-dagger|reserved]] for footnotes.

JamesTecho12/17/2025, 8:31:55 PM

Removed double daggers *again*. People do not need FOUR indicators of what has won (top of list, bold, yellow, and double dagger). This also isn't the correct use of the double dagger, which is used for footnotes.

Reverted 1 edit by [[Special:Contributions/JamesTecho|JamesTecho]] ([[User talk:JamesTecho|talk]]): Unexplained removal; it is not unnecessary.

JamesTecho12/17/2025, 4:58:02 PM

/* Winners and nominees */ Removed unnecessary double dagger on winners and removed weird extra line
