This person appears to deserve recognition and respect. It is also a macabre PR stunt to defect criticism for layoffs during what's essentially an industry party of self congratulations.
Two things can be true.
I honestly expected TGA to be more tone deaf and not address it at all after speeches about the „golden era for gaming“ from previous years. The entire award show is a PR stunt anyway. At least this single award spreads some awarenes and reminds us layoffs aren‘t just a number, but real people.
sure, but that's not his fault.
