As someone who came up in a radically different version of the Internet, one that wasn't really mobile let alone omnipresent, it's hard to imagine our particular origin story happening again. I mean, for good or ill: the pathways to an audience, and the monetization schema, even the idea that forms in a person's head when you imagine that notoriety and the life it might allow is already sequestered by the corporation that would enable it.

The Eldest Ring
They've gotten Elden Ring down to a seven minute speedrun apparently, and I think we can all agree: that isn't a very long time. I regularly stare at a blank screen that long, sometimes between sentences, and I don't have anything to show for it. I certainly haven't been the culmination of a prophecy or anything. I haven't culminated shit!
Gundam Evolution!
I’ve managed to play about 12 hours of the new Gundam Evolution beta since last Friday and I really like it. Is it a lot like Overwatch? Yes, but it’s also like Team Fortress 2 and Paladins. It’s a Hero Shooter and so it’s going to feel very similar to those other games. The question is whether or not Gundam Evolution has enough of it’s own flavor to differentiate itself from those other games. It's hard to say for sure if that is the case after only a few hours with the beta, but personally I’m impressed and excited.
And That's A Good Thing
I think it's totally fine for Overwatch to be a genre, and it's even finer if it's all robots instead. That's essentially the premise of Gundam Evolution, whose robots are very large indeed, and which basically plays how you expect it to if you expect it to be Overwatch with Gundams.
