Die Nominierung zum Golden Geek Award 2020 sind bekannt gegeben worden. Bis zum 01. Mai kann kann in den einzelnen Kategorien abgestimmt werden (LINK).
In den Kategorien hat es auch Änderungen gegeben. Es gibt keine Game of the Year und Strategy Games Kategorie mehr. Diese wurden durch Light, Medium und Heavy Game of the Year (GOTY) ersetzt.
