Video Game Awards ialah acara pemberian gelar game tahunan yang telah dilangsungkan Spike TV sejak 2003. Tapi meskipun mereka mengubah format dan namanya menjadi VGX, event di tahun 2013 dianggap mengecewakan serta mendapatkan kritik karena lebih diarahkan pada sisi komersial dan malah bukan seperti perayaan pencapaian penting di ranah itu.
Sang produser Geoff Keighley memutuskan untuk mengundurkan diri dan mempesilakan Spike mempertahankan hak atas VGA, namun Spike malah memilih buat menghentikannya secara permanen. Hal tersebut mendorong Keighley untuk menciptakan acara baru bertajuk The Game Awards, kali ini disiarkan lewat layanan home console serta Steam sehingga bisa merangkul lebih banyak pemirsa.
The Game Awards sudah tiga kali diselenggarakan dan sepertinya sang produser berniat untuk terus memegang tradisi itu. Minggu lalu, tim penyelenggara mengumumkan daftar nominasi The Game Awards 2017 dan tak lupa memberikan Anda kesempatan buat melakukan voting.
