"The Game Awards 2023: Winners, Predictions, Announcements, and Keighley's Cowardice"
The Game Awards, hosted by Geoff Keighley, failed to address the mass layoffs in the gaming industry during the three-and-a-half-hour show. Despite thousands of people being let go from studios and publishers this year, there was no mention or sympathy expressed for their work. The focus seemed to be more on promoting studios, publishers, and sponsors, rather than addressing the concerns of those affected by the industry layoffs. This lack of acknowledgment showcased a cowardice on the part of Keighley and the entire team behind The Game Awards, turning the event into a marketing spectacle rather than a platform for meaningful discussion.
