Yeah, too much stuff going on at the same time. In my opinion, the industry isn't doing itself any favors having so amny announcements together. With E3, we usually only got big reveals... because going there was expensive and smaller studios couldn't afford it. Smaller games were left having to go to other expos or conventions to show what theywere working on, giving them time for some exposure. But now that E3 is gone, everybody has decided to do their own showcase during the same days, giving us a ton of announcements that, for the most part, will mean that a lot of games will be overlooked. And that's sad because there's no need for it. |
I think the issue is that there's just too many games in general, and the annoucements are just a consequence of that. I have more than 1,500 games on my Steam wishlist. Occasionally I try to drop games I'm not that interested in from my wishlist, but I just can't make a notable dent. There actually are over a thousand games I'd like to play at some point (which I know is 100 % not going to happen, unless maybe significant lifetime extension becomes widely available during my lifetime), many of which are fairly small or low-budget games. It wasn't always this bad, I think it's that there's just too many games these days.
