The western markets maybe struggling to figure out the supply side but the demand side is bigger than ever and someone is going to capitalize on it

Hard to be excited about both chinese and korean made games when they are so blatant and boasting about AI use

My only real observation about the Opening Night Live Gamescom showcase is this: If folks don't know what your game is, a pure CG story trailer isn't doing much to help. Show the gammmmmmmmeeeeeee, please.

*AMAZING CG* "The Extermatrix is coming to destroy the past and only you, Thomas Van Domination, can wield the ever-changing Veritamax Plus Alpha to defeat them." Story is necessary and cool! Probably great while I'm playing the game! But I need to know what the game is *first* to get interested!

Wait, a vibes trailer that may or may not contain an ominous cover of an 80's/90's hit doesn't inform you of how it will *actually* play? ... Are you *suuuurre?*

Also my god stop using UE5. Half the games are visually identical.
