Good. I've been holding off on buying Switch games for a couple years until they make their BC decisions known (and in the hopes that maybe someday the prices will fall on first-party stuff). Really can't wait to see what they do with a new Switch, though.

Fucking insanity to let the Hi-Fi Rush people go, but I have every confidence if and when those people land on their feet we're going to see even cooler stuff from them. That's not in any way softening the blow for them, I know, but I can't help but see their talent and think, yeah, those people are a sure-fire bet for someone to snap them up, or as a new independent studio.

I could not tell you a thing about the last Broken Sword game except that I beat it and there's an honest to God puzzle where you have to move a cockroach but can't just simply pick it up.

Fuck.

I think you're less likely to see events like these as a yearly thing and more on a "when it's ready, it's ready" schedule, meaning when they have things to announce and they can provide a loaded show, sure, they'll put something on, because why not? Bring on a few dozen influencers willing to shill to pretend to be hyped up, sucker in your remaining fans, and bam, PR. The events themselves might lose money but as a long-form source of fan goodwill, it has to still have some meaning. Just maybe not every year. Give it some impact, put it on every three years or something like that, and you're good.

Or save it for Microsoft's big pressers, which is probably more likely.

Didn't they do a sourdough patty melt? That gets my vote.

Good luck and have fun!

Good write-up. It looks better than I expected but admittedly that bar is so low a cockroach couldn't limbo under it.

I'm so tired of this shit. Just fucking soul-crushing.

@zombiepie: Disagreed but I don't know how many people played And Then There Were None. That game was exactly what I wanted out of a book adaptation.
