You may recall that at the end of September this year, GamesRadar announced the nominees for the Golden Joystick Awards 2024. You may also recall that at the same time as the nominees were announced, it was confirmed that the award winners would be officially revealed on November 21st, 2 months later.
November 21 arrived and, as promised, the winners were revealed. The winners aren't really that surprising, although Nintendo didn't win anything.
