AIAS to Capcom: No fees = no nominations |

A couple of days ago, we posted an article about Capcom's reaction to their non-inclusion in the AIAS Awards. Now it's time to shed some light on AIAS' side. According to PSXExtreme, AIAS rules state that Capcom must become a member of the organization - and that means paying some fees - or they "can't be eligible for any nominations or awards the AIAS chooses to hand out." Ok, so we guess this is what Capcom meant when they said companies have to "buy" their way into the AIAS.If the rules clearly state that you have to be a member to receive any kind of nominations, then why doesn't Capcom just join? They have the greenbacks, don't they? Or is the fee an insanely high amount of money? Or maybe the AIAS is actually a secret cabal of iron-fisted overlords who rule over the videogame industry with fear and terror and Capcom doesn't subscribe to their way of thinking.
No idea, really. What we do know is that Capcom isn't the only one who didn't get any nominations. Apparently, AIAS has also released a list of several other game companies - including big-name companies like Tecmo and Eidos - ineligible for awards.

AIAS is simply another advertising scheme dressed up to look like an awards ceremony. Capcom did something even smarter. They used the AIAS's blackmail as ad advertising campaign in itself. It's working well for them, and now for the other companies that are 'ineligible'.
Kudos to Capcom for turning this to their advantage.

Lets say for example that Dead Rising were such a great game that it would likely get the Game of the Year award. Now, that award is going to go to a lesser game, purely because capcom is not "in the club". Now, the title of "game of the year" ends up on a lesser game like Barbie Horse Adventures: Fall of Man. The good publicity and advertisement of the title "game of the year" is now on the wrong game.
