Chapter 25 Game of the Year
Finally, the Best Performance Award was given to Warhorse Company's 'Hunter Chronicles' series.
Following that, awards for Best Art Direction, Best Mobile Game, Best Adaptation, and Best Soundtrack were successively claimed by other companies.
Herr Voss glanced at Conrad Heller's side and sneered, "It's already this late, and not a single nomination yet. Looks like we came for nothing."
Conrad Heller remained as steady as an old dog, calm and composed.
"Next, we will present the Best Multiplayer Game Award! Please look at the big screen!"
On the screen, videos of five games appeared in sequence.
These included Kingdom Adventure and Pirates of the Caribbean.
After the videos finished playing, two game producers went on stage to unveil the award.
"The winner of the 17th DGA Best Multiplayer Game Award is..."
"Pirates of the Caribbean!"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Herr Voss, who was about to stand up, froze. He had paid them, so why wasn't this award going to his company?
Conrad Heller was a little surprised. He had thought this trip would just be a formality, but he actually won an award.
Amidst the cheers, Conrad Heller walked onto the stage and accepted the Best Multiplayer Game Award.
"Thank you! I never expected to receive this award. As the operating company for Pirates of the Caribbean, I feel incredibly honored. As you can all see, the game producer, Illusory God, is not here today, so I am accepting the award on his behalf."
"Our game, Pirates of the Caribbean, currently has the most concurrent players and has received countless positive reviews. Common issues in multiplayer games, such as lag and disconnections, are extremely rare in our game, which demonstrates our excellent game optimization."
"To receive this honor, I thank the producer, Illusory God, and I also thank everyone for their votes and support. Thank you!"
Applause broke out, and Conrad Heller walked off the stage.
Herr Voss wore an unhappy expression.
The host walked onto the stage: "Mr. Heller is very humble. Next, we will present the Best Role-Playing Game Award! Please look at the big screen!"
Five nominated games appeared on the screen, again including Pirates of the Caribbean and Kingdom Adventure.
"The Best Role-Playing Game is, Pirates of the Caribbean!"
Conrad Heller, whose seat hadn't even warmed up, stood up again and walked towards the stage.
"Thank you very much! I never expected to win again; I am deeply honored! If our game were stripped of its multiplayer shell and played as a single-player game, it would still offer a quite excellent experience. We can role-play as 17th-century pirates, merchants, soldiers, or adventurers, embarking on a fantastic journey, sailing the high seas!"
Another round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
"We love Pirates of the Caribbean!"
"I am a loyal fan of Pirates of the Caribbean!"
After receiving the award, Conrad Heller wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to his seat.
This time, Herr Voss was even more displeased. Winning twice in a row, what a joke.
"Next is the Best Action Game Award! Please look at the big screen!"
The screen flashed with images of the nominated games, still including Pirates of the Caribbean and Kingdom Adventure.
Herr Voss thought, I paid for this, so it should be mine this time, right?
"The winner of the Best Action Game Award is, Pirates of the Caribbean!"
Herr Voss was stunned. Was he just here to be a runner-up this time?
Conrad Heller once again went onto the stage and delivered a speech of gratitude, thanking the fans, the organizers, and the producer, Illusory God.
After winning three major awards in a row, the live stream also erupted.
"Haha, Herr Voss's face is green."
"Look how arrogant he was before. Is he not going to win a single award now?"
"I love watching the drama unfold."
"I hope the final award also goes to Pirates of the Caribbean."
The next few awards finally quieted down; there were no more for Pirates of the Caribbean, but nothing for Moxing Company either.
These awards were won by several other large companies.
Finally, it came to the most crucial and important award.
Game of the Year Award.
It can be said that this award represents the highest honor in the gaming industry and is the most valued award by everyone.
Everything before this had been a prelude to this award.
There were five nominations for Game of the Year, which were:
Pirates of the Caribbean, Kingdom Adventure, Battlefield Gunfight, Monster Brawl, and Ninja Rush.
Herr Voss took a deep breath. This time, it should be his, right?
There's nothing money can't do; if it can't be done, it just means not enough money was given.
"The winner of the 17th DGA Game of the Year is, Pirates of the Caribbean!"
As soon as these words were uttered, Herr Voss slumped into his chair.
He hadn't expected that after winning the first award, he wouldn't win another, running as a runner-up all the way until now.
The bullet comments also filled the screen with congratulations.
"Well deserved!"
"The farce is over!"
"It seems DGA knows what's important."
"How could they dare to rig it this time, making all global players blind?"
"Exactly, if they rigged it, they'd probably be cursed to death afterwards."
Conrad Heller once again walked onto the stage. He had won so many awards at this ceremony that his hands were sore.
Thunderous applause continued, taking a long time to subside.
Conrad Heller let out a long sigh: "To be honest, I'm very happy. Game of the Year is an award countless game producers dream of, and we are honored to have won it. First, I must express my gratitude to the producer, Illusory God."
"Although Illusory God couldn't make it, he brought a video for everyone. Please watch the big screen."
As soon Heller's words fell, the stage lights dimmed, and a man wearing a mask appeared on the screen.
"I am Illusory God, the producer of Pirates of the Caribbean. Since the game's release, it has gained the love of many players. First, I want to thank all the players who purchased Pirates of the Caribbean."
"Secondly, I will announce the upcoming game update plan, so please rest assured that the game will be stably operated in the future and will not face the 'developer abandoning the project' situation rumored online."
"Our next update will contain a lot of content, planned to be released after players conquer the Barbossa dungeon. At that time, we will also expand the map, launch an external region integration plan, and organize Pirates of the Caribbean-related events."
"For specific details, Unreal Entertainment Company will hold a version update press conference, where everyone will learn the detailed content."
"In short, thank you for your support!"
The video ended, and applause erupted from the audience.
"Too bad, he was wearing a mask, so I couldn't see his face."
"He even used a voice changer, so mysterious."
"I still don't know if Pirates of the Caribbean was made by a company or an individual."
"Why even ask? It must have been a team effort. How could one person make it?"
"They're going to hold competitions later, that's interesting."
"I agree, I'm really looking forward to the next big update."
Conrad Heller bowed to the audience: "Thank you all for your support of Pirates of the Caribbean. Thank you, we are the Game of the Year!"
Golden confetti rained down, and Conrad Heller stood amidst it, beaming.
Herr Voss stood below the stage, his face ashen.
A message came through on his phone: "We cannot go against the will of the players --- DGA."
