The DICE Awards are being held in Las Vegas on February 18th.

The award is not handed out every year and is reserved for rare occasions. Previous winners include the Father of PlayStation Ken Kutaragi and former heads of Nintendo of America Minoru Arakawa and Howard Lincoln.

It's just a figure of speech. I can't stand it that he's gone as he didn't deserve it and he had much more to offer.
