    Nothing will make me watch this thing live. The ability to fast forward is essential for this show and I do so through 80% of the duration.

      Yeah I know what you mean. They try really hard to emulate the pace and speeches/etc of other award shows, but those are the same things that make those award shows so boring and overly-long.

        Yea, I typically also don’t care much for their live performances, the orchestra and “funny commercial interruptions” not to mention endless Game Pass ads.

          Given 103 million viewers last year, I wouldn’t call this a “great opportunity” to win either…unless you are running the sweepstakes, then it’s creating a mailing list goldmine.

    It never worked for me. If the store didn’t tell me it was pushing updates and about to go live, then I could get through the first few clicks and then “something went wrong,”

    So I backed off and waited a while. Then when I came back there was a queue system and I gave up.

      Yeah, I tried entering 3 different game awards contests: OLED Steam Deck, Legion Go, and Super Mario world resort tickets.

      The Legion Go and Super Mario World contests were glitchy but worked fine, but I could never get the steam deck one to work properly. Probably means they had a lot more people trying to enter the steam deck one than the two.

        My personal anecdote is that I only really cared about the Steam Deck. I would’ve entered the Lenovo one if the Steam Deck one worked.
