There is a non-zero percent chance that Geoff's muppets will poke fun at the Highguard incident
>>740295553Geoff won’t touch that subject with 10 foot pole. Not because he’s ashamed of being wrong, but because the HighGuard dev team already tried to throw him under the bus and pin their failures on him. Poking even the smallest amount of fun at their expense runs the risk of people actually buying into their BS
>>740295801Honestly, I would like him to just address it with a simple, "I thought the gameplay loop looked different and fun," or a, "It looked like it was trying something new and I wanted that to succeed." Abandon the ego, and then move on.
>>740295871You ask for sincerity, when it was an idea of the sponsor of TGA
>>740295553They won't because of the layoffs/studio shutdown whatever happened there I don't even remember anymore. It will not be viewed as a joke by the xitter crowd.
>"I can't belive Sony would waste millions of dollars in something like this!">"Whats so hard to belive about that?">"They are so allergic to money, i thought they wasted at least several billions instead.">DO HO HO HO
>>740297937Yeah, but some some claim to sincerity would be nice over just ignoring and increasing audience distrust.
>>740295871He's never acknowledged the failures he's introduced before, don't see that he'll start now
>>740295553There is zero percent chance they'll ever mention that or any of their other failures again. They'll just keep promoting the next live service slop until one happens to work out.
>>740298635I honestly don’t get why people want or expect him to apologize. He’s putting on a show, why would he dig his own grave by acknowledging that one of the games he announced sucked?
>I heard that Highguard lost 90% of its players in the first week!>That’s not what I heard.>What did you hear?>I heard that TEN percent of players are liars!>Doh-hoh-hoh-hohand>Highguard?>No. Bye-guard!
>Oh noo, not another hero shooter!>Geoff, could you be a hero and shoot us instead? >Doh-ho-ho-ho
>>740295871I hope he opens with "welcome...to summer games fest" would be a cheeky way acknowledge it
