Controversy Erupts as Cyberpunk 2077 Beats Fortnite for Best Ongoing Game at The Game Awards 2023

TL;DR Summary
Cyberpunk 2077 winning the Best Ongoing Game award at the Video Game Awards (VGA) has sparked controversy as the game is a single-player title that had a disastrous launch and required years of fixes. The VGA's definition of an "ongoing game" seems flawed, as it should have gone to a live-service title that defines itself as such. Other games with significant updates like Warhammer 40K: Darktide and No Man's Sky were not even nominated. The win overshadowed other deserving contenders and pushed them out of the running.
