So it’s show day for #TheGameAwards. A few thoughts before things get too busy! First, it’s crazy we are now in year six of this thing. It’s hard to describe what an honor it is to produce this show and have everyone fly in from around the world to attend.
When I started this crazy experiment in 2014, I just wanted to find a way to celebrate the industry on my own terms. It means the world to me that so many people, including all you guys, have embraced what we’ve built and pushed us to make the best show possible.
What you’ll see tonight is the result of a year of work from our team. It’s a fun and unexpected show, some big twists and surprises. But what excites me the most are the moments we don’t plan - the speeches and the react videos online.
As always you won’t get every announcement you want. We can only showcase the content we’re given to share. Announcements aside, I hope you’ll see this show for what it is: a celebration of our shared passion.
Hopefully we are learning and growing every year. No matter what the numbers are tonight, I just want to make us all proud to play games and be a part of this global community.
I’m really excited about The Game Festival, a concept that I’m focused on building over the next 5 years, and so happy many of you want to see it expand.
See you on stage a little later today! And oh yeah don’t be late 😛
