why TRGA exists

I’ve spent almost 20 years talking about video games, and the industry has never been more out of touch with the people who actually play them.

​

Last year, we launched The Real Game Awards as a direct response to that disconnect - the widening gap between gamers, developers, and the media. And it hit a nerve pissing off all the right people. Our first year was a massive success. We learned a lot, we listened even more, and it confirmed exactly what we suspected: this show needs to exist.

​

The same issues we called out last year? They’re still here. That’s why The Real Game Awards is back—louder, sharper, and bigger for 2025.

​

This year, we’re going all in. This isn’t about corporations patting each other on the back. It’s about giving the voice back to gamers.

​

We’re not done. We’re just getting started. Join us as we Take Games Back in 2025.

This is a funny picture I found when searching for "gamer". I put it here because it's funny.

If you're tired of the nonsense and are ready to take action: now is the time. As we get closer to the award show, the price to Nominate & Vote will go up. This is designed to avoid bad faith voting & funny business. With that said, whatever price you join at will be the price you stay at (ie - if you join at $30, the price doesn't go up for you)
