In a recent Q&A stream on Twitch, Keighley was asked if he would be taking more security measures for this year's Game Awards to prevent a third stage invasion incident.

Keighley said he was, but didn't want to go into specifics so that would-be invaders wouldn't know the security plans in advance.

"Yeah, we are," he replied. "We don't want to talk about that stuff too publicly, just because it's security.

"We definitely have plans and we're trying to do all we can to keep me safe, but also everyone watching the show, the audience, people participating in the show and everything. It's certainly something we're thinking about. We appreciate the concern.

"Believe me, that's something that is top of mind for us, but we also want to put on a great show that celebrates these games, and celebrates our love of video games, so that's an important thing to keep in mind as well. But yeah, I appreciate the concern around that."

I know the perfect person to provide security at the venue.

He's quiet, efficient, blends in like a chameleon and he's bald.

Will make sure everything goes without a hitch.

Third incident?
I remember the idiot kid during the Elden Ring win, but what was the other stage invasion?

Someone tried to copy the Elden Ring kid at Gamescom and grabbed Geoff's mic to shout about GTA 6 and Bill Clinton.

I hope security is on top of things. It feels like it's only a matter of time until someone gets hurt.
