Its mostly just silly to see people who dont actually know what theyre getting worked up about get all worked up. People keep trying to sound like they know the lingo and understand what it all means, but most people just come off as
extremely overzealous when they try to piece it all together.
The behind-the-scenes shit happening over the last week of things getting canceled and live streams being off and back on and off again and maybe back on and oh god what is even happeningggg is way crazier and it involves every hardware manufacturer and a ton of big publishers, too. Its not politics or cover-ups in the grand sense. Its just the nature of trying to fit as much as possible into this four-day window. Hell, Ive had a couple of people try to move interview times to Sunday afternoon on me, and Im not even going to be in town at that point.
Maybe thisll help put it in perspective. The Microsoft interview thing is, like, the sixth craziest thing thats happened over the last 24 hours as it relates to E3 coverage coming from the people in this building. It doesnt even make Top 5 compared to some of the shit thats been going on around here. And none of that is particularly out of the ordinary. E3 planning is like preparing for an natural disasteryou try to set up as much as you possibly can beforehand, but its going to happen whether youre ready or not, so youd better just be ready to improvise just in case.
