I feel like Geoff really did a disservice to this game. It might actually could have ramped up some dedicated players and it built out its vision. But Geoff swooping in and saying it’ll be the next, greatest game did it zero favors.

I agree completely. There’s only one chance to make a first impression. The final ad slot of TGA needs a worthy game that the audience can be excited about, and putting the most generic, most corporate-looking game there felt like an insult. Kind of like this absolute flop.

Too be fair, TGA doesn’t seem to have historically given a lot of weight to the last spot. And they probably should, because of the public perception of the last spot being inherently prestigious. But it doesn’t seem like they were trying to say it’s some sort of capstone or anything. By all accounts he just thought it looked neat and threw it in the last open spot.
