There's no real "fixing" of these types of events unless Sony/MS/Nintendo decide to put on a proper showcases themselves.

Events by someone like Geoff will always be held back by the fact they aren't some marketing expense for a product like a console, instead the showcase is the business itself. The showcase needs to generate the revenue to pay for itself and make a profit.

So you'll always have an inflated runtime with a lot of filler, because what's actually paying for the event to exist are the 20 nearly identical Chinese waifus gacha games, and the Fallout TV show getting a whole segment, and the 10 GAAS hero shooters with shitty music.

Nailed it.

I have some rules for events from console manufacturers:

• No more than 20 games shown
• An average of 8 games per 20 minutes of show
• 40/60 ratio of first-party against third-party content
• A third of the third-party titles must have some sort of exclusivity arrangement with your platform
• No Chinese or Korean games -- the only exception being the Stellar Blade IP
