Booing is not always a judgement of performance , but can be an expression of disapproval of a third party . Sometimes this is even encouraged , such as at The Game Awards 2015 , when the audience booed in disapproval at the announcement that Konami legally barred Hideo Kojima from making an appearance . Host Geoff Keighley agreed with the sentiment , saying , " it ’s disappointing and it ’s inconceivable to me that an artist like Hideo would not be allowed to come here and celebrate with his peers and his fellow teammates .
