We may have all judged Concord a little too harshly. It turns out that not only was every single person wrong about it being a bad game, but it’s actually the best game of all time. And then some. Never before has The Game Awards seen such a clean sweep, with a single game taking over every category—even ones that don’t even apply to Concord, like Best RPG, Most Anticipated Game, and Best E-Sports Coach. We reached out to Geoff Keighley, organizer and host of The Game Awards, and he had this to say:
“We at The Game Awards believe in fairness, honesty, and equal opportunity. And in all fairness, we tried giving equal opportunity by looking at other games, but honestly, none of them even came close to the quadruple AAAA god-like quality that Concord has bestowed upon us all. This game is so mind-blowingly phenomenal that there’s no point in having other games compete. It would be a mockery to even place them in the same category.” These comments seem to undermine what The Game Awards has been building for years: the legitimization of the gaming industry to the rest of the world.
We asked Geoff what the rest of the world would think if they saw an award show with only one game featured. Could you hold the Oscars with only one movie? Geoff railed a line of cocaine off his house key and responded with this: “If the movie was Ratatouille, then f**k yeah, it could. That sh*t slaps. Look, Ubisoft just told me we’ve transcended into a world where quadruple AAAA games exist now. When I saw the trailer for Concord, I knew this was it. This sh*t is the future. You’re gonna be playing Concord for hundreds of years with your children and their children’s children. It’s gonna be amazing. I love this thing more than I love my wife. If I only had one hand free over a volcano and had to choose between losing a single precious copy of Concord or some kid, I would choose the kid. Every. Single. Time.”
We asked Geoff how Concord even fit into some of the categories he’s nominated it for, like Most Anticipated Game and Best E-Sports Coach. He replied, “I anticipate you’re about to get a foot in your a**, so that oughta coach you to keep your damn mouth shut.” Afraid to keep the interview going, we ended things there and let Geoff drive off. He sped into a traffic pole almost immediately. He is currently in urgent care.
