The nominations for this year’s The Game Awards were announced earlier this week, and fans can place their votes on which games they want to see take home this year’s awards. The demand for this was strong, so much so that The Game Awards website crashed–now, organizer and host Geoff Keighley has apologized for the website’s struggles and said work was done to improve the experience.
“We’ve seen truly unprecedented levels of global voting activity for The Game Awards this year–tens of millions of votes in the first 24 hours alone. I know some of you have experienced errors and lag while voting, and I want to apologize,” he said.
Keighley went on to say that his teams have been “working around the clock” to help “improve the experience” for people looking to cast their vote online. Voting is open until December 10, so no one needs to rush to vote, Keighley reminded people.
It’s exciting to see such enthusiasm for The Game Awards! Having 10 million votes in just 24 hours shows how passionate the gaming community is. Looking forward to seeing how the nominees shake out!
Absolutely! It really shows how invested the gaming community is in recognizing their favorite titles. It’ll be interesting to see how this level of engagement impacts the final results, especially with so many new games nominated this year.
