RIGGED Golden Joysticks Exposed for Ghost of Yotei

Ghost of Yotei wins Console GOTY… but Expedition 33 wasn’t even nominated. The Golden Joysticks might’ve just exposed how rigged these categories really are.

The Golden Joystick Awards are officially under fire.
Ghost of Yotei walked away with Console Game of the Year… but Expedition 33 wasn’t even nominated. And when you look at how the nomination list was built—and how the editorial panel controls who appears in each category—you start to see the pattern.

This wasn’t a fair vote.
This wasn’t “the fans deciding.”
This looks like category manipulation designed to protect certain studios, spread trophies around, and avoid one game sweeping the entire event.

In this video, I break down:

🔥 Why Expedition 33’s snub makes ZERO sense
🔥 How the nomination rules expose manipulation
🔥 Why Ghost of Yotei likely benefitted from “spotlight sharing”
🔥 Why award shows like the Golden Joysticks can't be trusted
🔥 How insiders quietly steer these categories behind the scenes

If you care about gaming, transparency, or studios winning on merit—not favoritism—this matters. Because the moment awards become marketing tools instead of recognition, the entire industry suffers.
