While everyone else is giving awards to Zelda and PlayerUnknown’s Battegrounds, our GamesBeat Rewind year-end event has the guts to hand out silly accolades to the real winners of the year as part of our Non-Awards. For example, virtual reality can’t win game of the year, but here’s something it truly deserves.

Listen to us discuss this category in the audio version of the podcast right here:
I still like VR. It’s a tech that continues to impress me every time I use it, which is not that often. The problem is that I rarely want to go through the effort of setting up VR.

Ugh. Just writing all of that gives me anxiety. I know the second that I do that, I’m going to have to deal with some emergency at work or at home.
