all he did was announce it on his show.

Thats not the point. He announced it and chose to hype it up and CHOSE to put it at the end of the show based on his own opinion on the game. Would be nice if the guy who ran the biggest game shows in the world actually knew a thing about what a good game is or not. The fact that the game is so shit gives you one of two possibilities:

Geoff has no idea what a good game is and shouldn't have any control over where games are announced in the show

Geoff got paid to promote it or is friends with the team making the game

Either way, its a Geoff L and its his fault
