After Highguard's launch woes and mass layoffs at Wildlight following its Game Awards reveal, industry voices argue Geoff Keighley isn’t to blame for the game’s troubles, pointing to broader economic instability in the industry.

Insider Gaming reports that Highguard’s Game Awards finale reveal wasn’t paid for by Wildlight; Forbes’ Paul Tassi cited claims that the finale slot was secured by the show or Geoff Keighley, amid skyrocketing trailer costs (finale spots around $500,000). The all‑new shooter drew mixed reactions, with many feeling the reveal harmed hype as the game nears its launch in nine days.
