Yes, it's their slate tactic, which basically breaks the function of the award from a sort of hive-mind consensus into a contest for political organization (or, in this case, outreach to the spleen of gamergaters) that's really sad.
And, Rev Bob, that crazy-building you so well describe just confounds me. I mean, I was raised by engineers, and as such very much enjoy the sort of traditional, capable person narrative who survives by their wits in the tradition of Alistair MacLean or, for a recent example, The Martian by Andy Weir. But why these guys somehow weld that "can-do" liking back into the viewpoint of technology doing no wrong (such as their belief in climate change denial) just confounds me. The will-full blindness they demonstrate in that and other areas is really something.
