In a post on Twitter/X, Wilson explained that recent financial troubles and a trip to the hospital forced him to sell his Game of the Year BAFTA trophy. The starting bid is £6,000, but if anyone is willing to pay more then the offer will be accepted. Wilson also sold a Sir Dan Hand figure and a Funko Pop signed by Sir Daniel Fortescue.https://twitter.com/GunnWriter/status/1727338534770774045The fact that an industry veteran who created some iconic games has had to put their property up for auction shows just how tough 2023 has been for game creators. Layoffs have been plaguing the industry, even as sales and reviews have been strong throughout the year. We can only hope that 2024 is better for the people behind our favorite games.
