"Shroud watched the Game Awards nominees being announced and, upon seeing that Arc Raiders wasn't in the running for the big GOTY award, expressed disappointment, saying, "The world is just not ready for AI in video games, not yet. They're just not ready. But, hey, at least they nominated it for something. I genuinely thought they wouldn't nominate it for anything because they were scared to get backlash. But at least they nominated it for something, so that's good.""
"Even before the nominees were revealed, he was claiming the show might be rigged. It's a bit odd to suggest the world isn't ready for Arc Raiders, considering it's one of the most-played games on Steam right now and has received heaps of critical praise. And there is zero evidence that the Game Awards this year or any previous year are rigged. The awards are voted on by a panel of members of the games media and influencers."
Shroud expressed disappointment that Arc Raiders was not nominated for the Game of the Year award and called the awards rigged.

There is no evidence of rigging; the awards are decided by a voting panel of games media members and influencers.
