After a tough 12 months for the games industry, seeing games like Baldur’s Gate 3 picking up five awards, and giving a namecheck to Yorkshire audio services company PitStop Productions for their work on the game, as well as charity SpecialEffect winning a special BAFTA for its work helping people with disabilities access games, was a very positive experience.
