I would consider myself pretty embedded in the gaming space, and I hadn't heard of the "Indie Game Awards" before yesterday. Last year's award show has <100k views on youtube, and the first article mentioning this (insider-gaming.com's) is written by one of the judges involved. I'll leave it up to the reader to judge how much of this is genuine and how much is jumping the twitter bandwagon to boost the award show's popularity.

Very curious to hear what channels you follow and how often per week. My RSS feed was spammed by it this and previous years

FYI, last year was the first ever Indie Game Awards.

I'll admit I'm not nearly as in the gaming space as I once was, but this is a sentiment I've heard repeated numerous times from friends who still are.

That and utter surprise of the lack of recognition they had towards Silksong.
