Unlike most game events, The Game Awards generally avoided participating in major disputes and scandalous situations. However, since the event is broadcast live every year, it is always vulnerable to unexpected intrusions or technical difficulties.
The latest iteration of The Game Awards, which took place on December 8, was the victim of one such intrusion when an unknown young man took the stage just after Elden Ring from FromSoftware won Game of the Year. The guy said some interesting words about former President of the United States Bill Clinton:
“…Very quickly, I want to thank everyone and say that I think I want to nominate this award to my reformed Orthodox rabbi, Bill Clinton. Thank you all."
While many people immediately started posting memes and jokes about Bill Clinton winning the Game of the Year award and being featured on the cover of Elden Ring, one dedicated fan went even further and developed a full featured mod that adds the ex-president to Elden himself. ring.
Elden Ring fan replaces protagonist with Bill Clinton after The Game Awards incident
A fan identified as a modder named Arestame showed off his mod on Twitter. He posted a video and joked about the collaboration between Elden Ring and Bill Clinton. The modder even jokingly referred to the teenager's words at the event as a collaboration announcement.
The 45-second gameplay clip, which has amassed over a million views in less than 24 hours, begins with a shot of President Clinton dressed in a formal suit and standing in the middle of the game's starting area, Limgrave. The next few shots are probably some of the funniest you'll ever see in a video game.
Bill Clinton walks through a fantasy land with a giant club in his hand. Pretty soon, he encounters an enemy and engages them in combat by brandishing his weapon. What follows is a short but intense fight that ends with Clinton's defeat, with the final shot showing him face down in a cave.
Although the download option for this mod has not yet been made available, it is possible that the clip's popularity may prompt the modder to release it on a website such as Nexusmods.
The "Bill Clinton" incident was one of the most ridiculous moments in The Game Awards history and left everyone on stage in confusion. The live audience and millions of people watching on various online platforms around the world were surprised and puzzled at the same time.
The aftermath of the Game Awards scandal
While the internet was soon flooded with clips and reactions mocking the incident, it appears that the organizers were not surprised in the slightest. Shortly after the show ended, Geoff Keighley, host of The Game Awards, posted the following tweet:
The person who interrupted our Game of the Year moment has been arrested.
Fans are thrilled that Elden Ring won the prestigious Game of the Year title at the 2022 Game Awards, but the magical moment was somewhat ruined by an intruder who is reportedly a teenager. They opined that the game, which also won awards for Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best RPG, was "deprived" of the attention it deserved by being crowned GOTY.
Many were also shocked to see how easily the teenager was able to join the Elden Ring team on stage and raised concerns about the event's security measures.
