The Game Awards
At this point, we and others have already wasted enough ink on criticizing and dunking on the yearly commercial-a-thon that is The Game Awards. Every year we all gather and watch it, mostly because it’s our job, and every year we all hope that it will be better.
Maybe, this time around, Geoff Keighley and his cohorts will focus more on developers and their accomplishments, and also put a spotlight on the issues facing the industry. And as reliably as CEOs laying off people and fanboys yelling at you on Twitter, Geoff and the Awards fail to even meet the lowest expectations set forth by viewers, critics, and devs.
This year, like before, the show announced awards off-stage in batches and didn’t let the few devs who got to actually collect a trophy give full speeches. It all sucks so much to watch, and it’s so long, too.
So, like I said earlier this month: Geoff, stop pretending you are running an awards show and just become the new E3 now that the old one has finally died.
