Writers Guild Of America Defends Gaming Awards

That's not precisely true, according to WGA orator Micah Wright, who wrote a guest mainstay on the subject for GamesIndustry.biz. Nominees, as it turns out, obviously usually have to be a associate of the Videogame Writers Caucus (for the elegant annual total of $60) rsther than than the full union.

So what's been gripping a few of the most appropriate games of the past 4 years from being nominated? Some developers -- similar to BioWare -- simply haven't submitted scripts, but with others it's a question of not knowing who to nominate. "The initial year, several games that people believed should have won the endowment were not authorised since the Developer didn't worry to credit the people who wrote those games," Wright wrote. "That's an insult, and as a association of veteran writers, we're not about to give an endowment to possibly a poser person, or to a firm that can't be worried to honor the workers who done their game."

Wright moreover quipped, "We're not giving an endowment for 'Best Videogame of the Year!' - if you wish that, go watch the Spike Game Awards." We hope the WGA has the expertise to commission that for "Unintentionally Funniest Line of the Year."
