Windows 10 was great since 2016. They really didn't rock the boat with it.

Windows 11 is playing around with aesthetics over function too much. Like Windows 8 and Windows Vista, this has only led to stability issues.

There's a reason why people loved XP, 7, and 10. Just a stable OS and no fuss trying to be fancy.

I'm interested to see what Summer Game Fest does over the next few years - in the same way that The Game Awards replaced the VGAs, if they play their cards right and keep the big names on board it's possible we could see a Summer Game Fest Expo as a compliment to the longer online event at some point (though I certainly don't think it's likely to happen in the short term).

Honestly, I don't find Summer Game Fest that much better. It just feels disjointed and pretty boring in my opinion.

Also, why is Geoff Keighley so hyped up? He's responsible for the Game Awards, which also fucking sucks.

PAX and Gamescom are already that.

While it'd be nice to have more events, it's really only necessary at this point for the locality.

Publishers only have a handful of games to show a year so they don't need 10 different shows. One or two would suffice. However, as someone from the Midwest, it'd be really nice to have something grand closer to home.

But yea, if you're looking for a gaming convention similar to ComicCon, you're just looking for PAX or Gamescom.

I think you're mistaken. It's completely different to go back to a "classic" version of a game that's no longer being developed, than it was to explore the same MMO when it was still active. It's the difference between visiting a famous artist's house when they're alive, and visiting it 40 years later when it's been turned into a museum.
