Never has it been easier for small people to attempt to knock people down to their level. It’s a shame people feel alright being so nasty to a complete stranger

Man, that fucking sucks. The work this dude is doing is worth respect.

This person appears to deserve recognition and respect. It is also a macabre PR stunt to defect criticism for layoffs during what's essentially an industry party of self congratulations.

Two things can be true.

sure, but that's not his fault.

I honestly expected TGA to be more tone deaf and not address it at all after speeches about the „golden era for gaming“ from previous years. The entire award show is a PR stunt anyway. At least this single award spreads some awarenes and reminds us layoffs aren‘t just a number, but real people.

People be licking boots out here.

I 100% trust this guy. He's just a incredibly genuine guy who wanted to help and has done an incredible amount of work. So happy he got the award.

No good deed goes unpunished after all
