Overview
- Organizer Emily Weir confirmed there will be no new Future Class in 2025 and no active programming, marking a second year without inductees.
- The programme’s page has been taken down from The Game Awards site, leaving no official archive of past honorees.
- Alumni recount poor treatment at ceremonies, citing a Starbucks meetup in place of a formal event and obstructed views from assigned seats.
- More than 70 members signed a 2023 open letter urging a Gaza ceasefire statement, which was ignored, and participants say Geoff Keighley appeared frustrated in a follow-up call.
- Members question sponsorship ties and a lack of financial transparency, while the alumni Discord remains active and organizers did not respond to requests for comment.
