Summary: I wish they had given us a small tidbit of new information in the live stream, or waited until they could say more.

I watched the entire live stream and I felt like I wasted quite a bit of time because it didn't feel like they discussed anything that hasn't already been shown~ I know it's really really esrly, but I didn't feel like the live stream added any value to the games announcement.

I recognize that the team has to communicate, and I think that's wonderful, and I really think they've improved their live streams since the early days of Anno 1800's seasons announcements and stuff~ but this one felt a bit... superfluous? It was unnecessarily long for the information it contained, it felt like they shoehorned in the two videos we've received so far to eat up time, and (please tell me if I missed it, it's very possible that I missed it) I don't think they ever announced the statue competition(?).

It also felt a bit weird and corporate-y to involve the marketing person. It didn't feel very sincere? I'm happy to see all the work they're putting into the marketing, but I wish more information of substance regarding the marketing had been discussed. I don't know why that gave me the "ick" but it did.
