Some local nerds were discussing what the Empire in Star Wars would look like if Palpatine died early on and Vader took over and I posit that, given its source material you would have wound up with a setting with warring factions more brazenly fighting each other while paying ceremonial deference

Okay actually.
In addition to the Game Awards making a hacky joke about Chatbots gaining sentience and the travesty that was Arc Raiders winning best multiplayer there was one other thing that bothered me.
Aside from Jennifer English's (well-deserved win) there was a lot of deference to Hollywood.

Trump is throwing Europe under the bus in deference to his Russian handlers.
A "United States of Europe" could be the next Superpower, which would end the US's influence, letting Trump complete the destruction Republicans started with Reagan.
