Just wait:
- All the shill journalists give HB2 10/10s and declare it a potential GOTY.
-"Can Xbox gain some momentum after the acclaimed HB2 and their GAMES showcase?"
"Xbox had a stronger than expected showcase and COD looks AWESOME. Can they carry that momentum to the holidays?"

We've been here, done that before. Its all predictable.

For over a decade. The same thing over and over and over….

Next year:
2024 wasn't great with the disappointment of Indiana Jones and Avowed but the 2025 lineup is stacked. Are Microsoft primed to take over?

We are about to find out how everyone truly felt now that MS has no hope that paying them to shill is going to change anything.

Now it's going to be all about PS5 Pro vs PC as far as DF is concerned, they already do way too many videos of PC vs PS5.

At ~25m50s, John seems to have an epiphany on what many people have known for years, that GamePass and similar services have steadily been eroding the perception of value that people give to videogames and that's one of the main precursors of the current shrinking market.

Don't worry, DF is a division of Eurogamer, they receive PC hardware from vendors for review, including marketing reviews.

I think they will always choose the "right" side.

If Hellblade 2 scores over 85, then it'll play out just as you stated.
