Game Awards refused to take a stand on Activision/Blizzard. Then Geoff Keighley changed his mind.

Washington Post, trying to generate some positive press, awareness and hype for the upcoming stream event. But when asked whether the recent Activision Blizzard scandal will have any impact on the show, he gave a very unclear and confusing answer. Kotaku ran a story and the gaming world imploded. However, a few hours later he made a u turn and tried limit the damage by claiming that he actually DOES care. A lot. I hope you enjoy this breakdown of the story.
