A few hours ago, AM2R and Pokemon Uranium disappeared from the Game Awards nominations list for Best Fan Creation. Brutal Doom 64 and Enderal: The Shards of Order are the only nominees left in that category. thegameawards.com/nominees/
Some people on Reddit started digging and learned that Nintendo is sponsoring the event. Signs are all pointing that the Big N threatened legal action if they continued to be nominated.

To me, it sounds like they saw the bullshit Konami pulled with Kojima and his award for MGSV and decided they wanted to try and one-up it. Whether they succeeded is subjective, but fuck if I care anymore.

Not surprised cucktendo would do that.
Liam Lee
B-but it's okay when Nintendo does it!!

I figured this would happen. I don't know why a corporate shilling event like these awards even have a fan game category, nobody can make money off of it.

I see the NIDF is already here. But I know, it's okay when Jewtendo does it, right?

Only because Nintendo's fans are a bunch of neckbeard basement dwellers and 8 year old girls.
