"The Game Awards 2023: Unheard Winner Speeches and Announcements, Including 'Baldur's Gate 3' GOTY Acceptance"

The Game Awards faced criticism for cutting off acceptance speeches, including the one from Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian, the developer of Baldur's Gate 3, which won Game of the Year. Vincke took to Twitter to share the full text of his speech, expressing gratitude to the community, his team, and various partners. He also dedicated the award to lost loved ones and acknowledged the importance of games as an art form. The speech, which lasted around two to three minutes, could have been accommodated within the show's time frame.
