For those who have been trying to vote for The Game Awards 2025 nominees in recent days and have encountered difficulties, this is not accidental.
The Game Awards set a new record, but the achievement turned out to be problematic for the organizers. The nominations for the prestigious award in the gaming industry were announced a few days ago. The popularity of the event grows every year.
This year, many notable games were released, and fans immediately began voting. The site experienced a load that was exacerbated by problems with the CloudFlare cloud platform.
Geoff Keighley reported that tens of millions of users cast their votes in the first 24 hours. This is an impressive result, but the site could not cope with the load, which caused failures.
The host assured that the situation is improving: engineers, together with the Google Cloud and Cloudflare teams, are already optimizing the platform. Keighley reminded that you can vote until December 10, so there is no need to rush.
