To put it in perspective, last year’s inaugural Game Awards was streamed to almost 2 million people during the three hours it was happening live.

Regardless, it was a blast for the people who went. I had a few friends there who sent snapchats and it looked amazing. Here are some of the video game trailers that were released during the event – they’re mind blowing:
