Dispatch leads say the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team's shout-out at the Golden Joysticks "means so much," and "I've never had a game make me cry so quickly before"

Z-Team gather around Invisigal in Dispatch to celebrate her win.

After Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 creative director Guillaume Broche took a moment to call out Dispatch while picking up the award at The Golden Joysticks, Dispatch's creative director Dennis Lenart and narrative designer Polly Raguimov have taken the time to repay the compliment.

While collecting the award for Best Storytelling, Broche said, "Play Dispatch, it's very very cool. It has a very cool story, if you like this one." It's rare for a developer to shout out another game while collecting an award, which is why I was surprised last year when the Astro Bot team gave a very transparent nod to Mario as they picked up the prize for Game of the Year at The Game Awards.
