Implications for Amazon and The Game Awards
This strategic partnership represents a significant move, underlining Amazon’s efforts to strengthen its connections to the gaming world. Although the company has ventured into video game adaptations for television, this collaboration highlights its interest in live streaming popular gaming events, further enhancing its role in the entertainment sphere.
In a recent statement reported by Variety, Keighley expressed his enthusiasm for the new collaboration. He remarked, “The great news about this is that it’s additive. We still get to air everywhere we already air the show, and we’re adding Prime Video as a partner.”He emphasized that the essence of the show remains unchanged, asserting, “We’re not changing anything about the show to accommodate a new platform.”
Continuity and Tradition
Keighley reassured fans that the core identity of The Game Awards will remain intact. Drawing on his extensive background in television, he emphasized that the show will continue to reflect its original vision.“This is still The Game Awards. They’re really just another distribution outlet, allowing us to build the show the way we always do, ” he noted.
This year’s awards promise to deliver the rich tradition and dynamic presentation that fans have come to expect, while also broadening their reach through new digital avenues.
