I say it wrong all the time and I'm not the only one
Summer Games Fest 2024 shows why modern gaming is dead
If it's a Geoff Keighley event, it has a simple name. I mean, come on – "The Game Awards" is about as prescient as it gets. It's exactly what it says on the tin. The same goes for Summer Game Fest, the name of Geoff Keighley's E3-like event that has taken place annually in June since 2020.
The title of the event matches what it is, especially when it was first announced back in 2020. At the time, covid-19 was raging; In-person events everywhere were postponed, and E3 was no exception. As game developers and publishers struggled to find virtual venues to showcase their projects, Geoff Keighley founded an event that served as an anchor to unite these disparate events that were at the time spread out over the summer. The title "Summer Game Fest" felt like something someone had written down really quickly to solve a big problem that had arrived almost as quickly.
But here's the thing. The name is just a little wrong. It should be "Summer Games Fest".
