Declining viewership YoY with crap reveals. Nah.
I am not blown away by the nominations as you know Last of Us and Ghosts are going to get most of them. I just hope the reveals are not like those summer streams that were supposed to replace E3. Tedious show after show of Indies I do not care about that you watch hoping the big stuff is coming.
