He's the opposite of Jason Schreier he wants this to be the Oscars of gaming which means pandering to the publishers and owners and then we all get in a circle and pat each other's butts not rock the boat with controversy or opinions.

You cannot run a big expensive awards show without convincing someone to pay those expenses. That why there are so many trailers and game announcements at the game awards. The games industry are the ones paying for the event and that influences the content.

It's not a reflection on Geoff Keighley's character that he chose not to cover the layoffs, that's just the nature of running a show like this. The real work in show business is fundraising, and you won't be in the business long if you speak out against those who give those funds.

Money is coercive.

Agreed. Does anyone think they're going to mention the writers strike at next year's Oscars?
