In an industry where almost every single big player is is a faceless, souless entity, personalities that you actually remember are far and few between, everyone knows Randy Pitchford, Bobby Kottick, Todd Howard, Yves Guillemot, Kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki etc.But such a sizable portion of them are just so blatantly apathetic and out of touch with the industry.
This makes Geoff Keighley stand above many of them because he genuinely believes in the medium and the industry and always tries to prop up not only great industry icons but outstanding independent developers too when he can. His shows are a celebration of these developers, E3 instead is a business event for these developers, but at the very least on the surface, his shows have some heart. Just look at some of the biggest memes of last year or any year he is involved in, there are so many memeable moments.
Look, he's got faults when it comes to corporatism, but that is mostly in the past decade ago when he was memed to death as the Dorito pope, google dorito pope if you don't know that past.
