So, I wanted to talk briefly about something. Everyone took an L last night, myself included. Pretty much none of the major VGA rumors since the beginning of November came true and everyone got BTFO. So, on that note, I want to talk about the issue of trust.
Trust is a commodity and shouldn't be given out willy nilly. When that comes to me and the rumors and speculation I post here, I actually DON'T expect people to trust me without question. Trust SHOULD be earned. I want people to trust me but also respect personal autonomy and people's right to skepticism. If you don't believe me, that's okay. What I do get uppity about is when people call me a liar or suggest I'm being manipulative. I try to be a straight shooter on this stuff and talk about what I'm allowed to talk about. Again, trust is important and if people are trusting me with this stuff, I want to retain it. If they say "nothing but vague hints", I feel I need to respect that.
Finally, on the topic of the VGAs, based on the rumors shared and who shared them, I'm not going to reveal what they said because, as far as I'm concerned, this stuff is still in play and, honestly, they did suggest a January Direct if not the VGAs. I'll happily take those Ls from last night if it means the rumors are still in play. On the topic of Geno, the biggest victory for us yesterday was the SNK spirit board clarification, meaning the Mii costumes leak from the summer is even stronger so it's a groovy situation all and all despite the VGAs (cough) not living up to anyone's expectations.
