Il Drago d’Oro cambia nome, veste e location e diventa Italian Video Game Awards. Un tocco di maggior internazionalità, categorie ripensate, platea delle grande occasioni. Dopo 5 edizioni, quella del Teatro della Vetra rappresenta un po’ l’inizio di un nuovo ciclo, una prima edizione di un nuovo corso verso una manifestazione che aspira a un respiro più ampio rispetto a quello limitato all’ambito del Belpaese. La strada da fare è ancora tanta, ma fa piacere vedere come i progressi rispetto al passato non manchino.
