Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Devs Say RPG Was “Robbed” at The Game Awards
The Game Awards have come and gone, announcing many new titles and celebrating what the industry considers the best games of 2025 with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 taking the Game of the Year award.
But were the awards at The Game Awards given fairly? Some may agree with the results, but others, including the team behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, are far from happy.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Team Claims They Were “Robbed” at The Game Awards
Proof of this came in a post from the official Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 account on Twitter/X, which shared one of the internet’s most iconic memes: the “This is fine” dog surrounded by flames. Although the tweet had no text, the meme clearly showed that they were upset about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning Best RPG.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 had been nominated in that category, but left empty-handed, even though many players believe it truly deserved the award. But things didn’t end there. Around the same time, Warhorse’s Communications Sirector, Sir Tobi, posted a much more direct message on X: “We have officially been robbed!”
Some fans have criticized Warhorse Studios for lacking sportsmanship, especially when compared to Supergiant Games, which posted a beautiful illustration congratulating all nominees, including their competitors, for being part of The Game Awards.
One fan said, “This is unprofessional, immature, and incredibly disrespectful to your peers in the gaming industry who rightfully worked hard for their awards and success. Maybe if you even remotely tried being a “team player” in the industry, the “team” would recognize you more often.”
Do you think Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 deserved the Best GOTY or RPG award? Given the game’s quality, it is surprising to see it didn’t win anything at all. Either way, it remains one of the standout games of 2025, now available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
MP1st’s review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 gave it a score of 9.5 out of 10, stating, “Warhorse Studios has delivered a worthy sequel and set a new benchmark for what medieval RPGs can achieve.”
Meanwhile, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has a Metacritic score of 88 out of 100, showing that critics and fans really liked it and explaining why it swept so many awards at this year’s event.

I agree with them. Game Awards were horrible this year and only focused on giving ex-Ubisoft employees a ton of awards because they don’t work for Ubisoft anymore. The theme was basically F-U to real games and slobber all over generic indie crap. The proof was the final reveal being a mediocre team shooter that will be DOA.
