The program wasn’t regarded as a success because it focused more on comedy than on celebration, but Keighley was inspired by it to create a video game industry version of the Academy Awards later in life.

Since the beginning, Keighley has participated in E3, the annual trade exhibition for video games.

As of E3 2017, Keighley organized and hosted the E3 Coliseum, a live-streaming event that took place during E3 and featured interviews with developers and publishers.
