【Industry Gossip】China Game Innovation Awards Nominee List Released: Gamers Question the 'Gold Standard'

The nominee list for the 2022 China Game Innovation Awards has been officially announced. With 209 submissions, 47 nominations were selected across nine categories, spanning mobile, PC, and console platforms. The organizers stated that these works highlight the improvement and diversification of original Chinese games, aiming to guide the industry toward high-quality growth.

However, NGA community members were largely unimpressed. Many users mocked the list as 'fair-share distribution' (yulujunzhan), joking that every company gets their own slice of the pie. In the comments, players debated the merit of specific nominations—such as *Tower of Fantasy* in the art category—and questioned the prestige of the awards themselves, with many skeptical about the true 'gold content' or value of these industry accolades.
