“Highguard 2.0”: Geoff Keighley Urged to Stop Promoting New Indie Game by Gamers

The gaming community is currently voicing serious concerns regarding the future of the We Are So Cooked development team.

The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley recently took an interest in the project. Captivated by what he saw, he decided to share a promotional teaser with his massive social media following:

The response was immediate, with commenters drawing skeptical comparisons to “Highguard 2.0” and imploring Keighley to stop using his platform to boost titles that align strictly with his personal preferences.

Many fear that this sudden visibility might backfire on the developers. By bringing the game to the attention of a broader audience—including those inherently hostile to the genre—the post could inadvertently trigger targeted harassment. There are worries that bad-faith actors might purchase the title specifically to leave damaging reviews before exploiting refund policies, potentially jeopardizing the project’s success.
