Yet Another Game Awards (YAGA) was created in 2024 by Bri Moore (BlondePizza), a content creator that is extremely active in the gaming scene; from streaming to curation, voice acting and even hosting the 2024 Yet Another Game Awards Live Show.

YAGA was simply created to give everyone a voice in celebrating outstanding games & developers. We felt that many other game awards shows simply did not give players a way to truly voice what their favorite games were throughout the year because they were not involved in the nomination process. Those that do involve the player from nomination usually have a very small selection of categories or only let players have half the vote. YAGA is about giving players a platform while recognizing a wide variety of games throughout a vast spread of categories.

At the end of the day, fancy words aside, this is a platform where games can be recognized purely based on how much they struck a chord with audiences; not based on budget, not based on studio size, not based on a panel of random judges. Just you.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating games!


If you would like to reach out, please visit our BlueSky page. We are a small team of 2 people and all the work you see is done in-house, so any support is greatly appreciated. We are also looking for games to feature during the livestream, so if you have a new or upcoming game, please give us a ring!
