People forget this was right after Shenmue 2 and the demise of Dreamcast, so it’s not surprising that they would be hesitant to greenlight a game that was very similar to a game that didn’t sell that well. Hindsight is always great.

They do like to ego stroke themselves by going first, so there’s a chance.

Sony decided to delay the show out of May to spite Grubb.

Okay, not sure if this year’s resolution for leakers to say “**** it! Let’s spoil!” If so, then beware of leak, especially from those who has strong record. Even if they do end up getting wrong, just be careful.
Yeah, I mean the Doom thing is not that shocking I guess but I really don’t want the whole show spoilt.

Yeah, it’s unusual to see high(er) numbers. So then it comes down to a matter of does the revenue stream provide enough for what was planned. Naturally some in the media will avoid all nuance and insist anything below X Huge Number is a flop and failure, despite it possibly being a huge commercial success for the devs.

Sadly I get the feeling this is going to be one of those years where almost everything leaks prior to the show. Over two weeks and something as big as Doom/IDs next game getting leaked doesn’t bode well. Of course leakers won’t want Henderson getting all the clicks so i imagine others will start to leak stuff between now and the show.
If one more appears, I’m ghosting social media and wait until showcase.

It’s still doing big numbers, if anything they just normalised.

He should have just doubled down on the original claim. 
His work backs it up.

EA hasn’t announced a special stream for Dragon Age so far, so it seems quite likely that it will be a SGF thing. I’m definitely curious about it, a bit more than that. Cautiously curious, lol.
