>If it goes to anything else this year,
You need not to worry about it going anywhere else. The Summer Games Show was jam packed showcasing games made on Unreal Engine. It's safe to assume that the winning result will be a game made on Unreal Engine. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a sure bet.

Not really. It doesn't deserve fucking anything, then again a lot games don't deserve awards either. I'm sure you think that because your favourite streamer told you so, but it's crap. Silksong is a glorified new grounds flash game, doesn't deserve anything either.
