The New York Videogame Critics Circle (NYVGCC) is a well-known group created in 2011 by Harold Goldberg of the Washington Post with the goal of bringing the best of journalism to the video game business while pushing for multiculturalism and aiding the less fortunate. In advocating for a larger message in gaming, Goldberg adds, "We want to help, we need to give back, and we're really serious about that purpose."
