December 12, 2024, was a special night for the gaming industry at large. Geoff Keighley hosted his 10th annual Game Awards show to an overwhelmingly positive reception online. In case you don't know, the show has previously been criticized for its fixation on advertisements in place of deserved screen time for the game developers it is supposed to celebrate.
Last year, there was a peculiar issue where a teleprompter in the theatre showed a message clearly telling award winners, “Please Wrap it Up.” This went viral for good reason, but it's clear Keighley and The Game Awards took viewer feedback from that show to heart and made some changes this year.
