Host Geoff Keighley opened the 2021 Game awards by calling on “everyone” to build a “better, safer” video game industry by voting with their time and their dollars.
In a series of remarks that forcefully called out abuse in gaming, but didn’t specify which kinds or who was responsible, Keighley referenced recent headlines about misconduct at Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard without addressing the company or the allegations against it by name.
“Game creators need to be supported by the companies that employ them, I think we all agree with that,” Keighley said. “We should not and will not tolerate any abuse harassment or predatory practice by anyone, including our online communities.”
The host shared contact information for the Games and Online Harassment Hotline before pivoting to the exclusive world premier trailers the show is famous for.
