The Game Awards, it's official: Activision will not participate
The Game Awards, it's official
The case of Activision Blizzard continues to have repercussions within the gaming industry, and the new blow comes directly from Geoff Keighley, creator and host of The Game Awards. In a series of recent tweets, the host of the event explained that Activision Blizzard will not participate in the next edition of the TGA. On Twitter Keighley explains that "beyond his nominations, I can confirm that Activision Blizzard will not be part of this year's The Game Awards".The host then went on to explain that "The Game Awards are a time of celebration for this industry, the largest form of entertainment in the world. There is no room for abuse, harassment or predatory practices in any company or community. " Geoff Keighley therefore takes a particularly strong stance towards a company equally important in the industry, but one that demonstrates how much he strongly believes in the core values of the medium.
Activision Blizzard's latest title, Call of Duty Vanguard , is still discounted on Amazon.
“I also realize we have a great platform where we can accelerate and inspire change. We are very committed to this, but we must all work together to create a better and more inclusive environment, so that everyone can feel confident in making the greatest games in the world. We are all responsible for this standard ”. For the moment, Activision Blizzard hasn't made any moment regarding The Game Awards decision, but it's possible it won't, especially after the long string of lawsuits and lawsuits it has gone through in recent months.
Beyond its nominations, I can confirm that Activision | Blizzard will not be a part of this year's #TheGameAwards

All of us are accountable to this standard.
Incredible games - and the talented developers who build them - are who we want to celebrate.
See you on Thursday.

Geoff Keighley concludes by stating that "incredible games and the talented developers who make them are what we really want to celebrate", showing himself close to all the workers in the industry. We remind readers that this year's The Game Awards will be a particularly important edition, with great guests from the caliber of Imagine Dragons, Sting, Reggie Fils-Aime and the announcement of many games. We can also expect the arrival of many demos on the Xbox store during the period in which they will be held, the night between 9 and 10 December. Do not forget that you can vote for your favorite titles for The Game Awards nominations on the official website.
On Amazon you can still find Xbox Series S at a discount, which can be combined with a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from 1 month or 3 months.
