Amir Satvat received the first-ever Game Changers award today from The Game Awards for his working in finding jobs for people in the game industry through his game job resources.

It’s well-deserved recognition at a time when transparency and emotional support are needed to help those that have been affected by unprecedent job losses in gaming. No one has done more to help people find jobs efficiently than Satvat. It’s nice to see him get noticed by Geoff Keighley, creator of The Game Awards, with more than 100 million gamers watching. Satvat is the first-ever Game Changer for The Game Awards.
