The 3rd Annual Bit Awards is in the books!
On February 1st, 2019, our annual celebration of the year in games brought together fans, creators and press from around the country. With moving speeches, anthropomorphic entertainment and brilliant performances by Zac Zinger and The Bits, they were better than ever. Host Carolina Ravassa reminded us of the transformative power of games and the value each team member contributes when turning an idea into a reality. The Adventure Society took us on an epic journey through space. ESC Games turned the audiences’ smartphones into controllers. A Hamsterdam dance battle brought to life the characters from our Best Style winner. Game Changer Honoree and industry trail blazer, Jen MacLean, inspired us to pursue our dreams fearlessly. 8 world premieres spread throughout the evening showed us a taste of what’s to come.
