Shroud Urges Fans to Vote Arc Raiders for Game of the Year

His campaign challenges the perceived edge for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Overview

  • On a recent stream, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek told viewers to “band together” to make Arc Raiders win GOTY and to “not let” Expedition 33 take it.
  • SullyGnome data cited in coverage shows he streamed just over 71 hours of Arc Raiders in the six days after its October 30 launch.
  • Arc Raiders is a third-person extraction shooter from Embark Studios and Nexon, and it holds a reported 93/100 on OpenCritic.
  • Shroud called multiplayer players “the minority,” said awards are “rigged,” yet said he plans to cast his first GOTY vote for Arc Raiders.
  • Critics widely view Expedition 33 as the frontrunner, and analysis notes The Game Awards often favor single-player narratives despite past multiplayer winners.
