Yeah. The rest in on PC so by default it'll have the edge.
Even though Anno 1800 deserves it.

That's an inevitability with fan votes, especially ones that show up to date results like this
What would Geoff be able to do about? It's inevitable with any fan vote.
That's not the point of it all. It reminds me of when people in the Easy Allies community tried gaming the system on the patreon Stream Team poll.
It's not fun if people are cheating! Keighley needs to know that cheating the system just for your game isn't the point of the whole category.
Make sure nobody's cheating, duh! It's no fun when it feels like the system's being gamed.
Well for one, the obvious game, Smash should've gotten more votes if nobody was gaming the System, realistically.
how come? it has a higher metascore than 2 of the other games on the list. the only competition is smash, if you ask me :)
Lol...
And there's a reason the polls need people to be logged in, to avoid issues like in other polls (will still happen, but a lot less).
It's not cheating though? It's not against the rules to change the vote. Most people voting Smash probably also liked Fire Emblem, so they perhaps changed once they realized that Smash won't win.
How are they cheating exactly? It's down to 4 entrants. Everyone is voting how they please.
Sure doesn't look that way if Smash isn't getting the votes it deserves.
Maybe he thinks that people are making Google/Twitter/Facebook/whatever accounts en masse to push Fire Emblem upwards?
It's strange since smash won both day 1 and day 2, but like others in here said maybe they are voting for fire emblem instead on day 3 since smash already has a lot of nominations for the show
Apparently the best Star Wars game in years so not surprising it's doing really well
But FE is a better game than smash? Mosre popular just means more people overall like smash, it doesn't mean more people have it as their top choice from these 4
Getting the vote plugged by a twitter account with 5.55 million followers will do a lot, I think
Maybe people have different tastes and reasons to vote for a game?
imo it's not weird to vote for the game you want to win, instead of your actual favorite game (assuming some smash fans are voting for FE)
In the first place if smash fans are migrating to FE right now I think it's more likely because FE was doing better this round in the first place and so they migrated from a choice that definitely wouldn't win to one that might.
smash was literally never ahead of FE this round
smash was literally never ahead of FE this round
like what do you mean by cheating? voting for one of the 4 available options, regardless of your reasoning, is not cheating. do you mean people are writing scripts or making fake accounts to inflate the votes?
What do nominations by critics have to do with a fan vote? In the first place, maybe the general audience feels like it deserves more nominations than it actually got because the people voting for this aren't the people choosing the more general nominations
I just don't get it. So many people want Smash to win some awards after last year, yet the act of "gaming the system" is clearly seen here.
Hey Geoff, can you check to see if people are cheating the system for the Player's voice category?
the outcome right now reeks of it.
I love it. Great idea. Fun build up to the show.
What did Three Houses do to you?
I don't see how wanting smash to win awards and wanting FE to win awards are mutually exclusive in any way
What's wrong with picking your number 2 if you know that your number 1 isn't going to win?
Here's hoping it becomes a mainstay! Watching the back-and-forth, the drama, for the past few days has been a hoot
The funniest part of this is that even if FE winning is because people are gaming the system, the winner here wouldn't be smash like Dino Pulse wants, it's be Star Wars lol
even if it was Star Wars, I'd be fine.
It just doesn't make sense!
you expect geoff to spend time, the day before his show, go into detective mode, to see if people are gaming a fan vote?
