A post by Geoff Keighley that announced the event express how he wanted to extend the event to gamers in completely “digital approach”, allowing not only those who attend the game show in person but also those at home to be apart of it:
Six years ago I bet everything I had to create The Game Awards as a way to celebrate our passion for gaming. Now feels like the right time to take the next step with The Game Festival, a completely digital approach to the consumer event space. Let’s face it: Not everyone can attend a physical trade show or consumer event. The Game Festival is designed from the ground-up as an event without barriers, extending the benefits of a physical event to the global gaming community that watches The Game Awards.
This new digital fest should grab the attention of the many viewers who will be watching tomorrow, in a more inclusive way. It looks like The Game Awards is embracing a more virtual present as well as a physical one this year.
