The problem is that it feels really disrespectful to the people winning awards. Sometimes they group awards together to “get them out of the way”. Most awards don’t even get speeches, they just say X won the award and instantly move on.
And when someone does win the award, everyone wants them to get off the stage because people are here for the trailers, not the actual game awards part. They give them maybe a minute before slowly ramping up the music (their cue for getting off the stage). The guy that won best performer for baldur’s gate 3 was speedrunning his speech and even then they played music over him at the end. They have zero respect for the game award part honestly.

Honestly tho, who cares about the trailers? Give the guys a minute to enjoy the award, the trailers will be on youtube 10 minutes afterwards anyway.
Fuck the ads, let the poor fuckers thank their moms and coworkers
