When do you predict they'll clear a BILLION dollars? I want to hear your predictions!

Some people need to be reminded that getting emotional about a subject does not invalidate your perspective or make your position wrong. I'd say being emotionless may be more invalidating than having emotion in a lot of instances.
Conversation, argument, and debate are all different things.

Realizing we don't have a nomination from Once Upon a Katamari which should qualify as it came out this year, but we need to nominate ONE little guy from the game who was introduced this year (so the prince wouldn't count)
Maybe a cousin? Let me know!

guys are not hard to shop for. Get them consumables and supplies. They can always use more. Find something they consume and get them a better version of it, or even the same thing but a nice restock supply so they don't have to worry about it for a while.
Don't know what to get the greatest guy you know? We have some suggestions.

A late entry just dropped thats not enough to unseat Skate as the winner but still deserves an honorable mention for being among the best game key arts of 2025

Every time we're presented with data from this survey its worth contextualising it with a reminder of who attends GDC and fills out this survey.
"This is also reflected in the layoffs crisis. According to our survey 28% of people working in audio, game design, or visual arts experienced a layoff during the past two years (compared to 22% of those in programming, business, or operations)."

I think about this little guy all the damned time.
I saw him in the DIA collection almost ten years ago and he's remained a permanent fixture in my brain ever since.
Art is fucking wonderful.

Its happened again so another reminder, that if you want to honor games, the least you could do is get their full and proper name right. Don't misspell, truncate or initialize their names. Give them some respect.
Also don't use their key art in weird ways, like cutting off the main character's head
