Not a surprise, dude put a lot of money into ai and into scooping up sources of data and is very much into anything that can make money even if it’s harmful to the industry he is in.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended AI following Eurogamer's 2/5 Arc Raiders review, which criticised the game's use use of AI voice generation. "AI dialog generation + human personality and tuning could totally transform gaming," Sweeney said.

Hire people to voice your characters, hire people to write your dialog, hire artists, hire fucking people to do a quality job instead of delving into the digital scabbing because you don't give a shit about your game, your Devs or your Players.

I know it may seem that us Future Class folks don't seem to give Geoff any benefit of the doubt. But we have given him ample opportunities yet he consistently shows us what his priorities are: "his own bag, his rich friends, and positive press." Not supporting the industry that lets him have a show.
Apparently, Keighley doesn't have time to reply to @alyssamerc.bsky.social's request for comment, but he sure does have time to post about his latest business deal surrounding the awards on LinkedIn.

“Many believe Future Class’s failure will serve as a cogent reminder that allyship without proper support is simply performative.”
I can’t see why anyone would continue to support TGA when it clearly does not support game devs, just a circle jerk for the wealthy.

Hey folks! I uploaded a lot of rough sketches and explorations for my personal project set in the Tron universe. Obviously it's all super work in progress, but people seemed to dig them when I shared a few weeks back

Volume was our first game to have voice-acted characters, with the talents of Danny Wallace, Charlotte McDonnell, & Andy Serkis.
If you played Thomas Was Alone, you'll know Danny's voice. He plays Alan, the artificial intelligence within the military training simulator you've just stolen.

It’s refreshing to see people have something to say about Geoff Keighley being be de facto face of game awards/premiers. Shame it’s taken the downfall of a industry and realisation of how much he makes out of the a industry that he dose very little to highlight and support off stage but it’s a start
