Yeah why didnt they do interviews with the devs after? Like they usually do that. Talk about your games a bit, tell us what they are and where you want them to go as GaaS games. Tell us what to expect. Get us interested
it wasn't soo long ago that forums would loudly complain about not caring about the talking between game trailers and all of the publishers seemed to take notice and eliminate it entirely.   i'd say the criticisms and response where a bit out of synch from each other.

it's not that i don't want any talking.  i don't want irrelevant talking.  this included 2 basic categories of stupid imo
  - talking directed to investors instead of gamers.  things like "we sold XXX units of ..." 
  - disingenuous small talk to segue from one game to the next. 
  - ....or worse yet disingenuous small talk during gameplay (this refers to mp games specifically).

not as bad as the "deal with it" thing from MS but like.. that's not a great statement to make.

Yeah just admit they messed up rather than being arrogant and stating some nonsensical statement

exactly.  i'll bet we don't hear a peep about concord until the end of the year at the earliest.   a logo and six+ months of silence isn't "foreplay".

The general sentiment surrounding yesterday's PlayStation Showcase is one of disappointment, but Jim Ryan is remaining positive about the show. In a press release, he says the livestream demonstrated Sony's "unwavering commitment to offering them [the fans] the best and most varied catalog of games possible".
His full quote reads: "Our fans expect and deserve a steady cadence of amazing content. Today's presentation demonstrates our unwavering commitment to offering them the best and most varied catalog of games possible. It also highlights the tremendous popularity and power of the PS5 as the global development community rallies to push its advanced capabilities to the limit. We're investing heavily in the future with innovative best-in-class hardware like PlayStation VR2 and the newly revealed Project Q, and our expansion into PC, Mobile, and Live Service gaming is transforming how and where our content can be enjoyed."

Some people at Sony seem to be in denial but I'm glad most people are in agreement that this wasn't that good of a show.

It feels like companies forgot that these showcases are supposed to be events themselves. TGA has issues but I'm so glad Geoff Keighley understands that.

Kind of wild to me that Jim Ryan made a statement.

Jim Ryan can be very tone deaf sometimes.

Fairgame$ is a competitive modern heist game where you team up to break into exotic locations and steal the cargo. The twist? You not only need to outsmart guards and security systems - you also compete against other teams. Crews that extract with the most loot and flair might just rise to the top of Fairgame$

My tired eyes read their name as pornstars in the tweet above so maybe that's what the marketing team wanted.
