Is this supposed to be news?
Or perhaps "Geoff Keighley is an opportunist" is the news? Because that's also not news.

It's good marketing. Capitalizing on the Ubi/E3 news to prop up his alternative.

Doesn't make it news, nor particularly palatable to take advantage this blatantly of the issues affecting other people working hard on their event.

Okay this is pretty funny.
Yeah. He gives off vulture vibes
Every time there's a smidge of bad news about E3, he's rushing in there with a tweet to promote his own stuff.

E3 this year will be killed by death by a thousand cuts.
-ESA is terrible at putting on e3
-Major platform holders like Sony haven't been going for 5 years now
-Xbox and Nintendo couldn't even be talked into going this year
-Summer Games Fest might be taking a lot of steam out of Reedpop's plans/ poaching reveals from what would normally be at E3. So why even bother

Like last year, I'll just read the cliffnotes, other than the Elden Ring trailer there hasn't been anything of note in any Summer Games fest, I fully expect that trend to continue

At least he's being transparent. He knows that none of the big guys will let him unveil their games

He managed to secure the gameplay reveal of MK1 with Ed Boon doing so on stage so that's pretty awesome. Him and Boon are buddies, and one of his shows was where MK11 was first revealed.
The MK gameplay premiere will be the only reason i watch this.

The audience expects things. You're supposed to del-
Fuck it. I'm in.

Fun interview. Some notes:
- Keighley said that E3 announcing that they're coming back for a small amount of time and then the loss of E3 shortly after never affected their summer show's content at all. He honestly doesn't even know what they were going to show. He is saddened that E3 is gone, and the main reason he made Summer Games Fest a few years ago was because the writing was on the wall with E3 pre-covid, and covid just accelerated this issue even further, much faster.
- Keighley wants to make SGF and VGA more interactive somehow. He isn't sure how profitable it could be to do what E3 used to do, but he definitely wants something more within the next 5-10 years of building things up more.
- Keighley really has passion for video games and loves the art. He loves the art of video games games, the art of music, and the art of film, and he constantly wants to celebrate all 3 through his venues. He understands that live shows might not be for everyone so he will always find ways to improve the experience so that the 3 can co-exist. It's a delicate balancing act for him(I assume also because he has no choice but to do sponsors to help pay the bills).
-Keighley recalls the VGA(still under Spike TV) when Joel McHale was co-hosting. He actually was not happy(it showed on camera) during those moments where Joel was a bit too abrasive on camera. He said behind the scenes Joel is actually a nice guy and loves gaming, but his script and his performance made it seem like a different story. He said on-screen Joel and off-screen Joel were like two different people. However, they are still friends today after that misunderstanding.
-When the Spike TV deal fell through years ago, Keighley had to put a ton of his own money up to keep the VGAs going on it's own without a TV deal. It was a big gamble. He had to call in a ton of favors, including contacts from Nintendo, Sony, and MS, to get them to play ball and attend and Britney Spears lent him her theater(?) to use for the show. Thankfully since Geoff is such a great figure and people person in the industry that it worked out well enough to where the show could go on, and then more sponsors came along once the streaming numbers increased year by year.
-Keighley does read forums and social media comments quite a bit (they mention NeoGAF among the list). He said he does appreciate whenever you guys are positive and receptive towards whatever he brings to the table and he does understand the complaints and jokes at times too. He says that he does have decently thick skin to be able to handle the more heavy criticisms. For him it sucks when he lets you all down as he really respects your opinions. At the same time it's a difficult balancing act for each show including what he was given to show and what he's allowed to show.
-Keighley misses doing his old E3 interviews with big figures in gaming, and he is thinking about doing a podcast where he will have special guests each episode like Phil Spencer or Doug Bowser, etc.
-Keighley may be looking to try and fix the confusion between awards like 'best game design and innovation' and 'best game direction' because they can be seen as the same thing to many people even if they aren't.
-Keighley may have a better plan for when someone is giving a speech for more than 5 minutes. He is thinking of ways to do it respectfully.
-Jaffe asked Keighley if he might 'Kill Esports award categories and instead bring in fun categories like best new character or something'. Keighley's response: Maybe.
-Jaffe asked Keighley who would host if he was ever unable to do it due to sickness or something: Kyle Bosman(Former Easy Allies host and also semi-known in the industry).
-Jaffe side note: Jaffe will attempt to meet with the production team behind the Twisted Metal TV show for Season 2. He was unable to meet with them for Season 1 due to traveling issues and it being Covid-19 at their time of filming.
-Jaffe side note 2: Jaffe has a game he's been developing here and there called Tripshot. He still has a passion for video games but he's not looking to develop something with huge backing because he's wanting to pivot his career to journalism/podcasting. He feels that he can give a more raw, unfiltered opinion about video games. Keighley gives him a bit of advice and says that it's a good thing that he has controversial opinions from time to time that sparks conversation.

I think Keighley is pretty fuckin legit. Dude has a lot of passion and it shows. The VGA's last year were absolutely amazing and of the highest production values any videogame show has ever had (add just about any award show honestly).
Maybe SGF won't hit tons of high notes, but it's a video game show. You either tune in or don't and you catch the trailers you're interested in after the fact. Regardless, we're getting glimpses and announcements of games that aren't out yet and that alone should make any fan excited. Unless you just hate modern gaming I guess.

Based on the way he talked about it, I think he eventually wants to expand SGF to be bigger than it is. He is just being extremely careful to not repeat some of the same monetary mistakes that ESA made with E3. I kind of agree that he should ease into things instead of trying to force it to be E3-Part 2 too fast.

Three games with very high production values and polish for sure, but they're still not for everyone. I personally was only interested in D4 out of these three, and after playing the not-really-a-beta, I cancelled my pre-order.

Is there any reasonable solution when it comes down to personal taste?

Of course not, people like me need to look elsewhere. I was responding to the sentiment that everyone should be satisfied with these three AAA games.

Oh great, I can't wait to be advertised to while clapping like a fucking tool. I hope there will be enough cringe to soak in because it will have to last me until TGAs in December!
