Everybody choke's presenting once, but...

So a dev choked and lost his train of thought a little bit during presentation.

It happens, well done for keeping going.

But I was very pleased to see the crowd and twitch chat channel reaction.
All I saw and read was understanding empathy and positive encouragement. Rare on chat these days !

Paradox gamers really are a fine community. A little faith restored in humanity.

Gaming communities are plagued with kids with little life experience and no empathy, Paradox games tend to attract other kind of people though.

True, some very knowledgeable too. Quite often I learn something here.

I thought he was great! I can imagine working on something and putting your heart into it and then, the big moment.

I found even the rudest people on these forums will easily concede a point they'e wrong on or actually try and debate

Yeah the passion came through, and the crowd seemed to respond to that

There's going to be rude or obtuse people with such a large community. But agreed they usually debate fairly rationally and rudeness is fairly rare in my experience.

Had the opportunity to talk to this particular dev off-stage as well, at the Triumph booth. It was really easy to tell just how excited he was to finally get to make the game public. It mostly felt like he had so much he wanted to talk about and explain at the same time he had difficulty only saying a single sentence at a time. If anything, it's given me more faith that the game is in the right hands.

Interesting confirmation, thanks.

Yeah he won me over, well that and the sci-fi setting. Wasn't interested before, but now I'm watching this one with intent

Did the same thing as you Vakz and I reached the same conclusion. The guy was just bursting with information about the game and I guess he just could not get everything out as he wanted to on stage. In my book that was almost endearing in a way. Great love for the game they are working on.

I have liked the series since the first game and I am looking forward to this. It was clear that they really thought they had something cool on their hands.

Yeah there's subtle stuff we humans pick up that isn't even said.
Think this really validates having the devs come and speak rather than over marketing and having some 'slick' give yet another 'sales' presentation.
