From Microsoft? I'm sure we'll see a GamePass price increase as well as news about other developers/publishers they plan to swallow in order to have us all locked to their platform.
Sony? I can't think of a damned thing. Maybe some PSVR2 games that'll actually make the headset worthwhile. Or a price cut. Or both.
Nintendo? I want to know where the fuck Metroid Prime 4 is.
Times like this I think I'm basically done with gaming, and it's 50% thanks to companies putting out absolute shit. 25% is on games 'media' praising said shit. Remaining 25% on the gaming community for rewarding companies by preordering the shit and buying the season pass.

I've been finding more and more enjoyment from random indie titles. And I mean real indies, not the ones who get games urinalist coverage. City State 2 and Deity Empires have been taking most of my time lately.
Itch.io is definitely a pro-leftist platform, but it does host a whole hell of a lot of random games and it is fun to flip through the massive catalog and just try some stuff you would never see otherwise. Had fun with Night of the Consumers and Deathflush last Halloween, and found Slipways on there for a few examples.
There are still some games out there that are enjoyable to play; I think I just get a bit disheartened when I see games get 8 or 9/10 review scores and I play them and wonder if it's me that's missing something or if the industry's just fucked.

Cheers man, I'll check those out.
