I can't wrap my head around this. For those of you who don't know, the man behind the upcoming game "A Way Out" was supposed to present the trailer for the game at The Game Awards. Geoff had him come on camera and attempted to have a nice chat with him about the game, which looks incredible from what we've seen. Instead, what we got was a clearly drunk/high/coked out manic "rant" on microtransactions and...another awards show. He cusses a million times on camera, gives the middle finger right to the camera, screams FUCK THE OSCARS and nearly talks shit about his own publisher, EA during his rant about microtransactions. He stumbles over his words, doesn't give a crap how long his "rant" is or how clearly uncomfortable he's making Geoff. It was embarrassing, insufferable, disrespectful, and incredibly unprofessional of him to do that. So WHY are so many people on twitter, comments, etc. calling him a "legend" and a "hero?" For what? Saying another award show is shit? You're on a damn award show. Is he a legend because he thinks loot boxes are bad? How bold. Saying loot boxes suck on camera makes you a legend now. How unique and daring of an opinion to have. No? Maybe it was the constant cussing and intoxication during this rant that made him a legend I guess. Ya know, the naysayers of The Game Awards have always said it's hard to take it seriously...so this was the "best moment of the night?" A moment where he couldn't even be bothered to be SOBER enough to take it seriously? good lord.
I don't get it. This is stupid. It was an embarrassing moment for everyone involved. I couldn't even enjoy the trailer afterward because of it. A Way Out is one of my most anticipated games for next year and still is but this was just ridiculous of him to do.
