the fact that they wont be able to fix whats broken soon is actually kinda troubling.
of course, maybe nothing is wrong and this is all according to plan but not showing up at e3 for the first time in your history last year shows a somewhat lack of preparation. did they not know they had e3s every year? stitch a show together like ms did last year. and ms had like no games. sony had dreams, nioh, ff7, death stranding, ghosts, tlou and other exclusives they couldve shown.
and then a year later, miss the most important e3 of the gen? something is up. because if this part of their plan then they need to fire whoever is in charge of skipping the e3 six months before launch.
thats true but so many changes so fast? come on, where there is smoke there is fire.
for example, when andrew ryan stepped down and kodera took over, no one really cared because people leave for various reasons. but when you have the CEO getting replaced in just a year and then another CEO for your studios get replaced, something other than family and health is going on.
