Summer Game Fest kicked off on Friday with a two-hour showcase in which host and gaming impresario Geoff Keighley came out swinging haymaker punches on behalf of embattled video games developers<\/a> for publishers and developers large<\/a> and small<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a tumultuous and difficult year with company layoffs and studio closures that have disappointed all of us.\u201d Keighley said in his opening statement.<\/p>\n

Then, introducing a title card for what the audience could expect over the next two hours, he showed a list of the top 10 selling games on Steam so far. Two, he said could be considered the kind of big budget, big marketing console-style games. The other eight come from independent, mid-size, or even solo development teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at this list and I get inspired that new ideas, new teams, and new creators, can and will break through,\u201d Keighley said. \u201cIt\u2019s a reminder to big companies that they have to treat their developers right, because today, there are many paths to sustainability and success, and that\u2019s what makes this industry so, so great,\u201d Keighley added.<\/p>\n

And with that said, let\u2019s take a look at the big announcement and reveals over the two-hour long showcase of Summer Game Fest 2024.<\/p>\n
