The article was incredibly light on specifics. What were the hateful / threatening messages? Why would anyone have a problem with helping developers find new jobs? Why were those developers fired in the first place?

The "Go woke, go broke" man babies who believes that failed games were because of politics™, and any attempt to help those people is a act of aggression.

I 100% trust this guy. He's just a incredibly genuine guy who wanted to help and has done an incredible amount of work. So happy he got the award.

Never has it been easier for small people to attempt to knock people down to their level. It’s a shame people feel alright being so nasty to a complete stranger

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.

Man, that fucking sucks. The work this dude is doing is worth respect.

His speech made me tear up a little and I have absolutely no dog in this race whatsoever. The fuck is wrong with people?
