It's a shame but also he already had one run in the event, it sucks but it's real classy of him to step back and let others get theirs as well. The schedule running late to the last day might screw with people's possibility to be there for the run, even.

Bummer but thats a great gesture from someone who already had a run.

The part where Control is a third person shooter is where it fell apart for me, but everything surrounding that core gameplay is very very good, and hell, the gameplay is still alright.

Its got enough atmosphere it can aaaaaalmost drag people over the finish line but I think its a smidgeon hard and crufty to actually do it.

Yeah with the schedule steadily creeping into Sunday morning it might be risking some people missing flights.

We can't let this many people get stranded in Minnesota. :v:

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
This game and run is a better silly game than most of those that were in the silly block.

So I haven't been watching the entire thing, what's happened to make the event go this far behind schedule?

as with every year, it's a combination of tech delays and estimate overruns adding up in aggregate. having to stall for a few of the incentives might've contributed some too, but i think it's just the aforementioned factors being especially bad this time around

Setups going long, interviews/recaps going long, a couple runs did go over estimate but not by that much.

I imagine they're wiping everything down on stage between runs on top of regular setup.

I just noticed that Superhot VR also got pulled from the schedule, which is a shame since I looking forward to it. :(

Why don't they remove a drat 4 hour Pokemon run instead especially we ALREADY HAD ONE 4 HOUR POKEMON RUN

Just a bit annoyed that two runs - which are like 40 minutes total - have to be scrapped and that thing is still in schedule. Sucks for Blacktastic and Davidtki.

There shouldn't be any 4 hour runs unless you are padding for time in the middle of the night.

Please do not inflict that on me in Japan, keep your 4 hour runs to US daytime so I can avoid

Look, any run can be good at any length.

Except a speed run of an MMO because its longer than a week.

Take me to your Shida

when the schedule was first posted Elden Ring was scheduled for like 1 AM local time (central) so the delays weren't into the five hour ranges like some people are saying but it was definitely a couple hours. It's back to being roughly "on time" though now.

I like the 4 hour pokemanz runs, bu talso agree they should probably be the runs that get the axe to solve scheduling problems.

At one point earlier today if you looked at https://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/runs/SGDQ2022 the closing ceremony was around/after sunrise on Sunday morning. They've definitely chopped a few hours off since.
