I beg of y'all, can we just not talk about Abandoned? ever? Please? It's such a waste of energy until it either genuinely materializes as a game or fizzles completely

LUMBEARJACK-a game where you play a bear wielding an axe was shown in the indie showcase and no one talked to HUBER about it on the show? #botchamania

I was literally just complaing this week about the lack of Quake love and that there needs to be remaster or a remake, and the quake gods heard me and delivered! I honestly couldn't be happier, but I do wish that quake 2 and 3 make it to consoles as well! And not being greedy or anything but unreal tournament as well. Ok thanks love you all bye bye 😁❤️

Correction: Everything said about the Pokémon trailer's zoomed in text being "an effort to try something different", "an experiment", everything that Damiani said their trailers always are, "to save money", "trying something with what you've got", etc. was wrong. The text zoom in trailer is a typical trailer type they put out during the development cycle of games closer to launch that I believe they've been doing since about Gen 5, Unova. They're basically hype trailers. Here's an example of a similar trailer from Gen 7, Pokémon Sun and Moon: https://youtu.be/fL6QuYi3rpo?t=34

100% with Damiani! I’m a HARDCORE WWII buff, and LOVE when either BF or CoD release a game set during it. But not this time. I can’t. I had this overwhelming guilt even watching the debut trailer this morning. I can’t get excited for Vanguard, and that sucks. But you know what sucks even more? The things happening to people at Activision/Blizzard. Sexual harassment/abuse, mental harassment and abuse, and probably in some cases, physical harassment and abuse. Plus to add all the other things would fill this comment section to its max.
