VGX 2013 was so bad that it killed the show.

If the big three are all behind this, then hopefully we get some unbiased awards and reveals.

Sounds great, and I'm glad that Geoff is involved - no matter how much some people dislike him (or downright hate him), he's been nothing but one of biggest promoters of the industry, stood in the first lines whenever there was a need to defend it, yet he isn't afraid to ask difficult questions (anyone remembers Reggie's: "Geoff, Geoff!, GEOFF!!!" from few years ago?)

I don't see any particular reason why this won't be at least 50% pain as with previous years

Even in a "more developed industry" like film, awards are complete and utter nonsense. I really don't see much point in creating this event

Just put the trailers online and save yourself a lot of time and money

Please let this be viewed on Twitch. I have an unquestionable love in light hearted trolling in Twitch chat and so do many others! Probably because of TPP

3.) Well I've been working on this for a while now. It actually started in earnest after Last of Us: One Night Live. Neil turned to me as we walked off stage and said, "You should make the awards feel like that." It's been a few months of aligning with all the publishers and platforms, and I'm truly honored they have all put competition aside to support the show.

4.) Yes, I'm very excited about what we're building. Tight timeline this year, but I'm excited by what is coming together.

"Publishers have no involvement in the selection of nominees or winners. That's handled by the press and some fan categories. "

i like the sound of that
