The developers behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 prepared thoroughly for Thursday's Game Awards. In a tweet posted a few hours before the ceremony, they shared a screenshot of two image folders on a Windows desktop: "memes if we win GOTY" and "memes if we don't win GOTY." The latter turned out to come in clutch, as Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was shut out of every category it was nominated for.

And it lost every single one of those to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

The French RPG took home Best RPG, Best Narrative, and Game of the Year, all major categories Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was nominated in. The loss of those first two elicited a 'This is fine' meme post, but Game of the Year followed with the killing blow.

Kingdom Come's social account responded to that disappointment with a perfect dialogue option from KCD1.
