There was the Rog Ally announcement last year....
ASUS ROG Ally April Fools' joke was about a very real Steam Deck competitor
ASUS has a new handheld gaming device on the way, though it was unveiled in a confusing way.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Google announced Gmail on April 1st, 2004... everyone thought it was a joke.
Another good one was 2019, RRG released a trailer for their new Like A Dragon game. Everyone thought it must be a joke, because it featured turn based combat.

April Fool's Day only really works in an age where everything doesn't already feel like one gigantic joke.

I've really grown to hate this day.
A day for morons to make stupid comment, followed by "April fools".
I partook earlier today

so it seems like (as most recent april fools day over the last 5 or so years)
its been mostly marketing to release weird game modes or dating sims or dumb shit, rather than to fuck with people.
I only dislike this day in gaming because it's just part of more of the congealed glob of shit that is modern gaming then it is poking fun like it use to be.
(also it doesn't work anymore in such a connected age, everyone knows it's april fools)

Aprl Fools Day is a yearly reminder that game devs and publishers know exactly what gamers want and would be excited to see........and yet have no plans of doing any of it.

Lol, we got some good ones this year.
Guys, games is about fun, let's give devs and journalists the chance to have fun at least one day of the year. Not all jokes works, but let's be mature about it and simply ignore those.
