Far too long for its own sake, Geoff Keighley's ceremony once again rewarded the Games of the Year with many categories and awards that have, let's be honest, definitely gone into the background. More than ever, the TGAs were above all a good opportunity for developers and publishers to promote their titles, with some pretty ads and full wheelbarrow advertising.
If you had the good idea to stay in bed tonight, we propose here a short catch-up session with a summary of all the big announcements and trailers of the ceremony, but also the list of the big winners of this 2019 edition.
