Level7 just held their annual award for best swedish game mag, writer and blog. Apperently last years winner got pissed off because he didn't win this year.
Here's the coverage in blogs. All in swedish alas.
The temper tanrum from Petter Hegevall.
The official response to the tantrum from Level7s chief editor Erik.
The response from this years winners, Level, through Thomas Wiborgh.
Criticism from game journalists regarding the circus:
Emmy Z
Michael Gill
Victor Leijonhufvud
Tobias Jensen
And last but not least, it's discussed in an episode of Spelradion.
My thoughts? Well... completely unecessary drama. Everyone knew the rules and noone could give a fuck about hurt pride. It is what it is regardless our opinions about it. Lashing out at it though, in an effort to discredit a competitor, is extremely unprofessional and childish.
End of story.
