Every year our aim is to have a soulful gathering to celebrate the luminaries, the critics, the developers, and the players of games. Thank you for acknowledging our hard work, and coming to our warm refuge in the bitter cold of a January New York City. (X)

Back in Finland from New York City with my New York Game Awards The Andrew Yoon Legend Award. Oh man, I'm feeling so very grateful and proud. Thank you @NYVGCC!
Our Creative Director @samlakewrites was honored with the Andrew Yoon Legend award for his achievements in the games industry by @nyvgcc. Thank you to the New York Videogame Critics Circle for the award, and to @the.regginator for the kind words at the ceremony! Watch the whole thing, including the tribute video to Sam, at the link in our bio.
For us at Remedy, Sam is a constant source of motivation and unique, wonderful ideas. We are privileged to have him as a team member and Creative Director.
Hyvä, Sami! (X)
