Greg Miller (Kinda Funny) delays this weeks podcast by 4 days due to multiple expected Sony announcements

Most people don't know Greg Miller, let alone follow his podcast schedule. People outside of his audience wouldn't care.
Now that he played the insider card though ? People will flock to him.
Because they want to do the show when there's actual news to talk about, and it'll inevitably be a better show for it. Also them recording right before an announcement is a running gag and they're clearly trying to get out in front of that.
I don't think the act of delaying itself is a big deal, and I doubt KF do either. They regularly delay episode to fall in line with embargoes or showcases or whatever else.
That's a stretch for a good number of reasons.
But the main one is: it's Greg Miller. If you don't know who he is, there is a good chance you don't give a fuck about Sony or their announcements. We're not talking about a no-name insider wanting to make a name out of him/herself. He doesn't need the flock.
Honestly? If Jim Ryan announces that they fixed the supply iessue, this news would mean a lot to the next 100 million+ potential buyers lol
I'm just going by how we get threads with hundreds of posts of speculation and it's usually just something we already knew about or expected.
We already got the report about the "Spartacus" stuff. It's probably that and maybe some gameplay or a release date for a game we already know about.
Which is fine, but when we get a bunch of Twitter people selling the hype. People's imaginations run wild.
PlayStation is a global brand, I can assure you that the vast majority of people following PlayStation don't know and don't care about Greg Miller.
To be fair, Walmart probably leaked more games that any other insider.
He's not playing the insider card. He delayed his show because he wanted to be able to react to potential announcements and everyone here ran away with it.
Yup. They're just playing into human nature. There's something out there I can't talk about, it's big and it's coming soon. So naturally people think the thing they've been daydreaming about has a chance. And many end up disappointed. I find no value in these twitter hype things at all.
You just need to read his tweet to know that the main information wasn't that his show would be delayed.
Nah. That tweet was so harmless. Nothing out of the ordinary for their platform or show. Not sure why people are freaking about this one tweet.
And a majority of those people still don't know who Greg Miller is and will get the information that Sony will release through official information and major news websites. Using this kind of argumentation, you could also say that Bloomberg isn't known by everyone and their coverage of future Spartacus announcements is attention seeking for the people that don't know who they are. It's reductive, at best.
The info is being translated and sourced.
When Bloomberg release an article, It's being translated and reported in near every single video game website and gaming Twitter accounts. The same is being done when insiders share their informations.
One of the announcements has to do with Greg personally
Capcom making a Luffy/One Piece game? Looks quite rubbery in that gif...
Yeah people taking things too far as usual. We're all just bored I guess.
But they talk about missing big news when they record on Monday and post on Tuesday all the time. If you know because of Jason one big PlayStation thing is happening probably Tuesday or Wednesday why wouldn't you wait to record until later in the week.
Probably hired by Sony or one of the studios in some kind of role.
Sony ending support for a mobile game and then dropping their new subscription service has the same vibes as Nintendo ending support for a mobile game and dropping folders on Switch.
It will be the announcement of the PS2 Classic. But with a twist. Not your shitty limited game selection emulated on mini hardware. It's literally a PS2 released again but built for modern tv's. Straight up the original PS2 hardware but with HDMI and it looks good. Has a disc drive. All your PS2 AND PS1 games work. Can also connect to PSN and has a hard drive so you can also get your digital library on it. It will be the claasic console done right the way I always envisioned it.
1. Spartacus, obviously
2. Bloodborne Remaster, good timing to build off of hype from Elden Ring, lots of new From game fans
3. Epic has exclusive pipeline for timed release of future PS5 games on PC, the "impactful" part being a certain 12 months after console release. Epic + Sony future tie ups, live service backbone, dev tools.

This right here bugs me more than anything on a gaming forum, to be frank. There are so many massive games that released recently and people are still clamoring for news. As usual, this forum continues to project how it cares more about rumors and news than actual fresh releases.
Greg Miller has been in the industry for nearly 2 decades now? It's his show, and he feels like he can delay it, with people claiming he's looking for clout? Also for whatever reason, people losing their minds for a potential subscription service when new games are out right now or several are on discount.
The constant cycle of news and rumors, yet no one is excited to play the damn games these days.
Even if you are joking, Sony isn't dumb enough to fall for this. They already turned down an Epic exclusivity deal once.
Very strange that one of the rumors he heard about for this week has to do with him.
Something may or may not happen that may have implications for something else.
Clear as day!
It's always the same with these insiders
Stage 1: OH MY HECKIN GOD YOU GUYS AMAZING STUFF THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND AHEAD
Stage 2: Actually uhm, it may or may not be that big? It really depends on your preferences
Stage 3: Well actually some of the things got delayed last minute
Stage 4: I was just speculating

Yeah, the disappointment is going to be crazy. People are setting their own damn selves up for it too.
