Even if it was because of regulators, then you just do a showcase in January when most regulators will have made their final thoughts. The deadlines may be March/April but January will give us an indication of whether they're blocking or not. But I don't think it's regulators, it doesn't make sense to me. Microsoft can't be expected to essentially pause its business for regulators, Lol. So I will hold hope of an X0 in January or February but if not then LOL Xbox's marketing is the worst in the industry. |
It's really the only thing that fits. They've had multiple TGA announces several years in a row. Now, zero so far this show with the show almost over. And it's not like they have nothing to show, we know for a fact they do. Redfall, Ara, Starfield, and Forza are all supposedly 1st half 2023 releases. Meanwhile Avowed, Fable, Contraband, Hellblade 2, Project Mara, and Project Belfry have all been in development long enough that gameplay footage should be ready for all of them now. Xbox is just choosing to not reveal anything this year, even though TGA reveals have been successful for them in the past, with Perfect Dark and Hellblade 2 reveals in particularly building a ton of hype and getting a ton of views. Why would they choose to show nothing? It's the only thing that makes sense at this point. They are terrified that showing games will harm their chances with the regulators. Clearly Activision-Blizzard isn't though, they just showed Diablo 4 off (edit: a Crash game now too).
