GDC Online Choice Awards
GDC Online Choice Awards
Austin Convention Center
Austin, TX
The Game Developers Conference® Online (GDC Online), formerly GDC Austin, will host the first Game Developers Choice Online Awards at its market-leading game conference, to recognize the rich history, technical excellence, and continued innovation in the arena of online games. Building on the success of over 11 years of producing the highly respected Game Developers Choice Awards at GDC in San Francisco, the UBM TechWeb Game Network is proud to produce an awards show-specific to the accomplishments in online games, taking place at GDC Online in Austin, Texas this October.
The award ceremony will honor the accomplishments of the creators and operators of online video games – from large-scale MMOs and free-to-play titles to social network games. The awards span excellence in live services, technology, game updates, online game design, and more.
In addition, two special awards will honor outstanding individuals and games in the space, with the Online Game Legend Award being given to a person who's changed the world of online games forever, and one particular all-time classic online game being inducted into the GDC Online Awards' Hall Of Fame. The worldwide community of online game players will also have the opportunity to designate their favorite online game in the Audience Award category.
