I was happy to see new footage/get release dates for Cyberpunk and the first game in the FF7 remake. I really don't want one, but I may end up getting a stadia to play Baldur's Gate 3 if it turns out as good as I think it will, because a new computer isn't going to be in the budget anytime soon and ...

Gripes aside, there is a lot of content.

It does give me hope though that if they get the right management team in place, there's still enough of what makes Bioware still there. If they cranked out the majority of the game in the last 12-16 months like that Kotaku article states - that's pretty damn good. We'll see.
