The host of The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley, has acknowledged the confusion surrounding which games can be considered eligible for the Best Independent Game category, and says it’s “it’s a really complicated thing to figure out.”
This came up during a livestream on Twitch yesterday (November 26), in which one fan asked Keighley what the thought process was behind Dave the Diver’s Best Independent Game nomination. For context, the underwater adventure game is developed by Mintrocket, a subsidiary of the large South Korean game publisher Nexon, which has prompted many to question if it should have been eligible for nomination in the first place.
