@Nightsquared I added this because I saw it was at 70% or something on Kalshi back in August, and I thought they were crazy because I had never even heard of astro bot then. Well played to Kalshi I guess

protest bets lol gg's gamers, cya next year

Astro Bot just won Best Game Direction, probably a good sign for GOTY?

i know i was wrong about literally everything game awards related last year but i'm really feeling it this year. gambling time babee

@Marnix It will be a cold day in hell before TGA actually lets their token indie GOTY nom win

@Kraalnaxx i keep forgetting to never have hope

I personally don't know if something with Astro Bot's aesthetics and generally non AAA approach will win at the TGAs, but it's main advantage is Sony is probably pushing for its win.

@Kraalnaxx agreed. I think its good enough to win. But I'm an indie andy. ive lost nearly all bias toward games big and small. unique and bog standard. kinda believe the industry still doesnt view astro bot as like 'fit' to be a goty winner

Placing a decent bet on Astro. I think it's undervalued compared to the sentiment among critics and has the highest average score in both Metacritic and OpenCritic

Today in Wind Breakers, Yahtzee is dead set on it being Black Myth Wukong. So I just want to stick a pin here that his prediction is sat at 9%.

@Noit I'm short BMW because it seems to be in roughly the same position Hogwarts: Legacy was last year. Although it's a massive commercial success with a passionate fanbase, critics thought it was "well-made, but generic" (that 81 metascore is telling) and there's some behind-the-scenes controversy related to the dev team being perceived as unwoke.

bump! here is igns current poll
