This is the best summary I could come up with:
At this point, you cannot talk about how amazing 2023 has been for the quality of games released this year without also mentioning how it’s been utterly disastrous for the people who made them.
But with the platform Keighley has, he does have a duty to his audience to recognize the conditions under which the games his events celebrate are made.
In 2021, when Activision Blizzard was hit with a harassment suit by the state of California, Keighley took to X (formerly Twitter) to say the company wouldn’t make an appearance at the show, writing on X, “There is no place for abuse, harassment or predatory practices in any company or any community.”
Throughout this year’s awards show, Keighley and developers spoke about the impact video games have on our culture and their radical ability to change minds and broaden perspectives.
To not memorialize that at all, even after acknowledging the power of his position, is, at best, an abdication of the responsibility of his platform if not outright cowardice.
It’s a state all the more disappointing since Keighley has already demonstrated that he does pay attention to the wider video game community beyond hyping up “world premieres” and paling around with his industry besties — and Muppets.
