The cat disagrees with some of these awards though
the artstyle of League of Legends looks really cheesy

Blizzard relation with the community is great, I haven't seen any other company that does it like them. I mean, where else have you seen employees from a game publishing/developing company being part of the games FANSITES? I never did, only Blizzard does this, and I think it's amazing. They communicate with the players constantly, something more companies should do.
Blizzard has it very well deserved.

I'm also glad to see Origin in the Hall Of Fame. RIP Origin. Richard Garriott, best game designer ever, damn EA for screwing Origin and Garriott's work.

Aion totally deserved the audio award.

The music made this crap game feel a lot less grindy than it was.

Definitely, but I don't know why LoL won so many awards D:

I mean, one or two is reasonable, but five? o.O

Are there any game companies outside of blizzard and valve that even value their customers?
After blizzard valve running its own games are also not too bad
But outside of those 2 i dunno

It may have affected some things, they may suck at something, but they still have the best community relations, and that is a fact. No other company has so many active GMs and mods on their forums, AND fansite forums, constantly communicating with their players.
