AGS Awards 2022. The year itself is long over, and soon, its AGS Awards will also conclude. Not until the ceremony has been held though. That’s important. By which I mean to say, please don’t forget about it, okay? Good. Great. Alright. Let’s hear it for the winners, then!
Oh, right. Suppose I should explain why there are five instead of just one in each category: this particular competition celebrates not just the cream of the crop, but the top five. That’s it. That’s all there is to it. So, without further ado…
Update: Okay, so that part about five in the paragraph above wasn’t entirely true. That’s on me.
