"has been out for about 24 hours now, and surprisingly, one of the people getting flak for the perceived slight of its existence is Game Awards host Geoff Keighley. Wildlight Entertainment had originally planned to spiritual successor before Keighley approached them about featuring it in December's award show with a pimp spot, and now that the game is out and people are having...Highguard shadow-drop its Apex Legends passionate reactions to it, the host has been getting an odd amount of hate for it."
"You can check the replies to his tweets for some unhinged responses, but I've also seen some pretty wild accusations that Keighley has some kind of financial stake in 's success. He even responded to that line of thinking on X , saying "lol absolutely not." Part of this probably stems in part from Keighley's sometimes teary-eyed enthusiasm about some games he's shown at the Game Awards having become a meme in and of itself , and 's show-closing placement in last year's awards show"
Highguard launched and generated passionate reactions; Geoff Keighley has received unexpected online backlash for his visible support and prior promotion. Wildlight Entertainment initially planned the game's release independently before Keighley approached them to feature it at December's Game Awards. Some critics allege Keighley holds a financial stake, a claim he denied on X with "lol absolutely not." Keighley's emotive reactions at award shows have become a meme, and the decision to close the previous awards show with Highguard drew scrutiny. The host warned detractors before launch; many now link him to current criticism as the game faces mixed feedback and post-launch plans.
