'The Game Awards' Seem To Only Care If You're Big
2015, when everyone thought Konami was the worst gaming company in the world? Well, in our defense, it really did seem like they were worthy of such distinction. Among prohibited Hideo Kojima from attending The Game Awards following a falling out during the development of Metal Gear Solid V. Host Geoff Keighley decided to make up for it by inviting Kojima the following year to personally give him the belated award. ("Sorry, it was lag.")
What a wholesome (if a bit too show-offy) moment in a time when the world was blissfully oblivious to all the messy crap taking place everywhere in the gaming industry. Yes, while it is tough to imagine now, there was a time when most people believed other big game development companies were run by saints. We didn't know Ubisoft was allegedly Activision Blizzard, for example.
While you couldn't realistically address all of the victims, the 2021 Game Awards show would be the perfect stage for Game Awards host/creator Geoff Keighley to once again stand up to abuse and call out Activ-- Oh, wait, he totally announced he'd steer clear from that.
Don't Miss
Keighley stated that he wants totheir banhammer and to create and enforce better standards?
We wonder if the president of Activision having a big role in the event has anything to do with this.
