They've straight up said this showcase is a deep dive into those four titles, a deep dive isn't 5 minutes tops, that's close to your typical E3 trailer, Lol.

This showcase is not a "here's a game, here's a game, here's a game" it's a deep look into gameplay.

ESO reveal trailers per expansion alone are 3 minutes long usually.

Really does not matter what they say, the concept is flawed.  Listening to a developer jaw on for a while then showing some footage or even gameplay is a waste of time for this type of event.  Keep it short impactful and moving.  They can have some QA afterwards for people who want to go deeper but these type of events that will get a bigger audience will lose a lot of them after the first developer drone on about their game.  

Showcases should be events where you put the best gameplay forward and while I love a good Developer deep dive, I do not believe it should be this event.  Either way, after seeing enough of these, I am pretty sure its going to be boring for the majority of the audience.

Don't watch it then, Lol.

They've been very clear what kind of event this is from the start, if it isn't for you then you can dip out now and no harm done, you'll only have yourself to blame if you didn't listen to them and come out complaining that it was a lot of gameplay. Some livestreams are catered to different needs and not every one is the same.

Sony/Nintendo regularly do "Direct" style events which are focused entirely on a single thing for over 20 minutes and they're generally well received, this is just four of those put together, I don't see any harm in doing that when they make very clear beforehand what it is. I for one am looking forward to it. They're going to do one entirely dedicated to Starfield too, why is that good but this is bad? Lol.
