BAFTAs are a bit of a joke to be honest.

Going to come down to God of War or Red Dead 2 for the top honors. Glad God of War is getting the recognition from the industry it deserves especially against a juggernaut like Red Dead 2 (a title many thought/think will just walk away with all awards unopposed.).

Hopefully God of War’s acclaim critically and commercially will show other budding game developers that nothing beats a good old classic polished single player experience despite the fads going on in the gaming world today.

How strange! Neither of these are "games as a service". Neither (with the exclusion of Red Dead Online) needs to monetize players after they already paid full price for the game.

"How do they do it?" EA asks.
