Announced in 2020 by the Game Awards as an inclusive programme for the industry’s next generation, the Future Class initiative has now been discontinued. Inductees describe clashes with organisers and a lack of support from the beginning
Wait, Alyssa Mercante isn’t working in fast food anymore?
The Guardian doesn’t list her on their list of journalists, though. I guess they accept guest-written articles sent to them? I didn’t know that. I mean, its not that uncommon, but still. Huh.
Going back to the spike TV days, it has always seemed to me that Geoff just wants glitz and glamour in video gaming that he can enjoy. And then with age that makes the glitz and glamour crowd for him also get older. Video game developers, welcome to the art gallery world, film/book/music/stage/television awards. It’s a bunch of old people with money and glitz and younger glamour that call themselves producers of any kind they can think of predators trying to party and network and that’s about it. Thing is with the game awards is that award shows peaked back in like 2005-2010 before YouTube and social media really took over media gossip. The game awards has been trying to make some prestige event out of a dying format that lost credibility with how non-inclusive these awards actually are. And I’m not talking about American social politics inclusiveness, I’m talking awards shows that want to be American/Euro-centric in a media landscape that is increasingly not that. So awards shows we know out here are declining marketing platforms for their potential domestic sponsors too because they’re just not able to appeal to people like they used to when these shows aren’t recognizing peoples super favorite game from like Colombia or China that was a hit on Steam but never paid a dime in advertising to American and European media organizations so get no media coverage
It was truly a sad moment when the final E3 ended.
Now everything is split into a trillion different streams for each platform, and then occasionally for award shows they announce random stuff there too.

Wait. There are people out there who still think “popular awards” are inclusive of their collective opinion? 🙃
Lol, welcome to the world, the olds will not give anyone a leg up anywhere. I say that as someone who’s almost 50.
Who is watching this? Does anyone besides C-level execs at gaming companies even care about this?
I watch it.
People watch it for the trailers/announcements mostly.
It has replaced e3 as the show where all of the upcoming project are announced.
E3’s gone? Shit. The last GamePro I read was telling me how great Mortal Kombat 3’s gonna be

It’s not even a real award show. It’s a bunch of commercials.
Serves them right for not being friends with Geoff
