00:00Claire Obscure Expedition 33 recently took home more trophies than any other title in
00:05Game Awards history, but at least two of its awards elsewhere have actually been revoked.
00:11I'm talking about the Indie Game Awards 2025, where Claire Obscure Expedition 33 won both
00:17Game of the Year and Debut Game.
00:19Let's face it, both awards were already a little controversial, since Claire Obscure
00:24isn't exactly what you think of when you think Indie.
00:27It has a publisher and a budget stretching into the millions of dollars, but now the
00:32Indie Game Awards has retracted both awards from Claire Obscure because the studio's use
00:37of generative AI during production goes against the organization's rules and a developer representative
00:43hadn't been entirely honest about that fact before submitting the game.
00:48The Indie Game Awards Game of the Year has now gone to the equally deserving Blueprints,
00:53while Debut Game has now gone to Sorry We're Closed.
