I got a chance to speak to him one on one after a panel he did at CES and dude was as nice as could be. He answered some of my questions, which at the time were very VGA related (this was like 2010), and it's crazy to see how far his concept for a true games awards has come.
Really loved this past year's show and after the Imagine Dragons / Kondo collaboration performance, I would love to see more things like that that mix bigger named people who are into gaming along with developers and creators.
