Summer Game Fest faces diversity criticism and acknowledges absence of female representation.

Host of Summer Game Fest, Geoff Keighley, has acknowledged complaints about the lack of diversity in the show, but didn't address the issue in-depth. He mentioned that Melanie Liburd, the actor who plays Alan Wake 2's new protagonist Saga Anderson, was due to appear on stage but scheduling conflicts prevented this from happening. The seven people featured during the show, including Keighley, were all white men. Keighley's next show, Gamescom: Opening Night Live, will be broadcast on August 22.
