13 Biggest WTF Moments From Gamescom 2019

Google's Stadia presentation was a whole big load of meh, but more on that later. Instead, let's focus on the intense awkwardness of how the whole thing was delivered.

The entire conference adopted the Nintendo Direct style streaming show formula, with the Global Managing Director at Google Games, Shanna Preve, weirdly channelling Nintendo alumni Reggie's delivery style and body language.

Unfortunately, she was unable to emit that fellow's warmth - instead, coming across as stiff, robotic and packing one hell of an eery glare. Honestly, she must have only blinked twice throughout the entire presentation.

Of course, as usual with these things, the people doing the speaking are better at getting games made than hosting shows about them - but it's still humorous to point out how impersonal a brand as big as Google feels across the board.
