Saying how much they do for the industry, and how diverse they are is the theme of this E3.

It's 2018 apparently it's mandatory to be inclusive as you show games of people throwing grenades at other people's feet and nuking cities.

I can't hate this. I really can't. Andrew WK is impervious to a dead audience. This is the perfect dichotomy, an ultimate reflection of the duality of man.

Somewhere, a marketing guy is getting murdered.

HEY GUESS WHAT MORONS THIS IS WHAT loving HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE'S HEIGHT! IT GETS AWKWARD AS gently caress.

Seriously, here's a protip for talking to someone who's tall (I'm 6'9"). Don't mention their height. Don't joke about it. Find a way to talk about anything else, because all you do is look like everyone else on the loving planet.

Haven't we seen a sci fi FPS like this 500 times before? It's so generic with a generic protagonist.

Yeah. I'm not sure what's supposed to set that apart from anything else.

And now... something that nobody gives a gently caress about.

Right this moment, EVE Online has 22,409 players. ESO had a peak of 21,380 in the last 30 days and an all-time peak of 29,979. In the last 24 hours EVE had a peak of 37,387 or 8,000 more than ESO has ever had.

ESO is getting murdered by a spaceship spreadsheet game that's now 15 years old.

Yeah it's definitely doing well.

There's a really good documentary on DOOM. They talked about they put a fuckton of effort into figuring out how to make it work, and originally they were going to do some kind of survival game that featured demons on Earth. It just didn't work out so they made DOOM 2016.

Why the gently caress didn't they do a live performance of the DOOM soundtrack. That would have been awesome.
