Genshin Impact Wins TGA Player's Voice: Double Nominations and the Great 800 Primogem Debate

Recently, Genshin Impact won the 'Player's Voice' award at The Game Awards (TGA) while also receiving two nominations. The developer sent out 800 Primogems as a thank-you gift, sparking heated discussions in the community. Notably, the organizers emphasized during the ceremony that 'all bot votes were removed' to ensure the integrity of the win.

However, the 'Primogem efficiency' and the logic behind the distribution became a point of contention. Some players pointed out that the 800 Primogems were likely tied to the two nominations rather than the 'Player's Voice' win itself. Some even sarcastically dubbed the Player's Voice award as having 'zero Primogem value,' arguing that rewards are primarily driven by critic nominations rather than fan-voted categories.

Looking back at historical data, veteran players noted that the 2020 double nomination also yielded 800 Primogems, suggesting this reward pattern is consistent. The comment section was filled with banter about the 'true value' of these awards, with some users playfully thanking the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase on Twitter for their unexpected assistance during the voting process.
