The Game Awards 2024 introduced the inaugural Game Changers award on Thursday, honoring Amir Satvat for his outstanding contributions to the gaming industry. This new accolade celebrates individuals who make a meaningful and positive impact on the community.
Satvat was recognized for his remarkable efforts in supporting game developers during a challenging period of widespread industry layoffs. Driven by a desire to assist displaced workers, he developed a free resource that aggregates job openings across the gaming sector, connecting talented professionals with new opportunities.
Accepting the award to a standing ovation, Satvat delivered an emotional speech, expressing heartfelt gratitude to his parents. “I love video games with all my heart. To all game makers everywhere, you are seen and treasured, and our community will always be here to support you.”
Beyond this inspiring moment, The Game Awards 2024 continued to dazzle with exciting announcements, including teasers for The Witcher 4, a new Elden Ring, and more.
