Why Everyone Turned on Expedition 33 After Its Game of the Year Win (Controversy Explained)
Why Everyone Turned on Expedition 33 After It Won Game of the Year Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 shocked the industry by winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards, along with 8 additional awards. While many celebrated its success, others weren’t so happy, especially fans of games like Silksong, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and Death Stranding 2. After the Game Awards, Expedition 33 went on to win two more trophies at the Indie Game Awards on December 18th. But the praise quickly turned into backlash once Sandfall was disqualified for the use of generative AI. So what's the real story? In this video, I break down why public opinion suddenly flipped on Expedition 33, how the controversy escalated, and why the hate surrounding the game feels forced and disingenuous.
