Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

Xinxiang, England, a high-rise conference room in a skyscraper.

Even though the meeting room was quite spacious, it still felt somewhat crowded due to the large number of attendees.

Looking around, one can see that the majority of attendees are white people, followed by black people, while yellow people and other minorities make up less than 20% of the attendees.

This is because the final judging of the TGA awards requires a jury composed of more than 100 well-known media outlets and influential game companies worldwide to vote and determine the results.

The most prosperous regions in the global gaming industry are none other than Europe and America.

As a result, most of those qualified to attend were media companies and gaming enterprises run by white people.

Even Jeff, the founder of the TGA awards and a white Canadian game media professional, was sitting in the center of the stage.

Jeff glanced at the guests attending the meeting below the stage, cleared his throat, and then brought the microphone on the table to his mouth.

"First of all, welcome to this year's TGA awards meeting. Since the media professionals here are all waiting to publish eye-catching news, I won't waste any more time."

A slightly teasing opening remark immediately broke the somewhat dull atmosphere, and laughter filled the meeting room.

After the laughter subsided, Jeff continued speaking, and on the giant screen beside him, he displayed the games that had been selected to compete for nomination.

"First, we need your judgment on the nominations for each award. You can press the buttons on the table to vote."

Each participant's conference table had a small screen installed on the upper half, with several buttons below the screen.

Following the on-screen instructions, they can cast their votes for the games they think are good.

Depending on the number of nominations, each person receives between two and five votes.

Ren Kang, CEO of the Steam platform, sat in the second row on the left, looking at the games appearing on the screen, and carefully selected five games that he believed were worthy of nomination.

To his dismay, apart from Best Mobile Game and Terraria's nomination for Best Action/Adventure Game, there were no other games from China on the shortlist for the other awards.

The absence of one or two awards could be attributed to bias on the part of the organizers, but the fact that no Chinese-made games appeared on the shortlists for the vast majority of awards speaks volumes.

"Sigh, hopefully Xingka and President Chen can bring some unexpected surprises."

Ren Kang sighed softly and, without hesitation, cast his vote for the anime-style mobile game "Zero Zone" produced by Huaxia Miyou when choosing the best mobile game nominee.

As for the representatives from Tencent and NetEase who attended the selection meeting, they also cast their votes for the game from China.

Domestically, they might compete with each other, wishing the other would die instantly.

However, once they crossed national borders, they all changed their attitude and united against external forces.

However, due to the limited number of votes from Chinese people, even though "Zero Zone" met the nomination criteria, it ultimately failed to be selected.

"I think the last game nominated for TGA was also a mobile game."

Upon seeing the list of best mobile games, Ren Kang shook his head with some regret.

"It seems that this year's TGA awards only have Terraria nominated from China. Even if it doesn't win, it's still a big step forward, moving from a mobile game nomination to a single-player game nomination..."

Generally speaking, the TGA awards focus on single-player games, and online games and mobile games do not receive much attention.

Time passed slowly, and it wasn't until 13 p.m. that the nominations for all the games were finally completed.

The selection of the winning game from among the nominated games will be on the afternoon's agenda.

Furthermore, time needs to be given to the news media to release the nomination lists for each award beforehand.

"Mr. Ren, it's been a long time."

In a luxurious restaurant booked by the TGA awards organizers, Ren Kang quickly ate a couple of bites before seeing the heads of NetEase and Tencent walking towards him.

"have not seen you for a long time."

After wiping the oil off his hands, Ren Kang extended his hand and shook hands with the two men.

"Mr. Ren, what do you think are the chances of Terraria winning an award?"

The person in charge of Tencent spoke first.

"I don't know." Ren Kang shook his head.

Terraria is indeed of high quality and has received good reviews from players, but the recent rejection of Zero Zone has gradually made him lose confidence.

The organizers of the TGA awards claim that they respect players' opinions, but in reality, the final decision on whether a game can be nominated or win an award still rests with the judging panel.

"Mr. Ren, it's been a long time."

Weems approached without anyone noticing, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Mr. Ma, Mr. Hu, you're here too."

"Long time no see, Mr. Wims. Your Chinese has improved a lot."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wims picked up his wine glass and headed to another group of people.

Both General Manager Hu and General Manager Ma raised their hands to say goodbye.

There's not much time for lunch, so if we spend too much time chatting, we'll have to vote on an empty stomach in the afternoon.

At 3 p.m., the second phase of the selection meeting began in the conference room.

The first categories to be selected were Best Mobile Game and Best Esports Game.

Unlike the first stage of nomination, when selecting the winning games, the participants are divided into judging panels. After discussion within the judging panel, the votes are cast for one of the nominated games.

The game that receives the most votes will be the winner of the award.

However, Ren Kang and others did not participate much. They usually waited until a few people in the group had reached a conclusion before agreeing to it.

This situation persisted until the selection of the best action/adventure game, when it finally changed.

"Say it again, what do you mean by saying that besides Prince of Persia and Silent Hill, the other three games can be directly eliminated as options?"

"Oh, sorry, I misspoke. It should be Terraria, which can be directly excluded from the competition queue."

Looking at the well-dressed, balding white man opposite him, Ren Kang clenched his fists, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by the others.

"That's right, I think Mr. Daniel's suggestion is excellent, and I agree with Mr. Daniel."

"I agree with Mr. Daniel."

"Me too."

"I also……"

Within the judging panel, the vast majority of members sided with Daniel and cast pitying glances at Ren Kang.

"The minority shall obey the majority. Since everyone agrees with my proposal, we can begin the next stage of the selection process."

I suggest we cast our vote for "Prince of Persia".

Daniel stopped looking at Ren Kang and raised his hand to speak.

The others offered various opinions.

Some suggested *Silent Hill*, some suggested *Desperate Soldier*, and others wanted to vote for *Sword Star*.

Ren Kang felt isolated; no one cared about his thoughts.

This is undoubtedly blatant discrimination...
