Readers React: The Most Glaring Omissions from the 2023 Game Awards

The Game Awards 2023 nominations have been announced, and while fan votes and judge ballots are still being counted, readers have voiced their opinions on the biggest snubs. Some of the notable omissions include the absence of a puzzle category, the exclusion of indie games from the Game of the Year category, and the overlooking of titles like Final Fantasy XVI and Street Fighter VI. Xbox's live service games, such as Halo Infinite and Sea of Thieves, were also not recognized in the Best Ongoing Game and Best Community Support categories. Additionally, Hogwarts Legacy, despite its controversy, was considered by some to be a snub.
