You'd think they wouldn't devote this much time to a soccer game at an American expo, as opposed to, say, one in any other country in the world.

This is probably the only place where FIFA can get applause instead of laughter or disgust ...

These companies making MTG/Hearthstone clones are dumb - you can't enter that market unless you plan on heavily supporting it with competitive play. Maybe they are just doing it for some quick cash.
Blizzard, at least AFAIK, has nothing akin to LCS for Hearthstone. I don't know if they have WCS for it or not. But regardless WCS pales in comparison to LCS. So if a company wants to advertise heavily like Riot did with LCS there is still a space for that I feel. But it is a huge risk.

I understand these guys, they need to do shameful things to sustain their drug habits

Can't they just have an emulator on the PS4? >_>
PS4 isn't even remotely powerful enough to emulate a cell processor. Best outcome here is that Sony slashes prices on PS Now and/or makes some sort of PS++ that costs a bit more than the normal PS+ does now but also includes PS Now. Probably more likely that Sony just ignores it at least until the list of BC games on Xbone isn't so laughably small.

Well, Mass Effect isn't coming out until 2016. That is interesting because the trend these days is to announce a game and then have it out by Christmas. It is a sequel, which is interesting since I know at one point it was a prequel. Looks like they figured that the best way to move post the terribly written ME3 ending is to go "A bunch of stuff happened, everything is fine, and now it is many years later."

As for soccer, it is growing very fast in the USA. In Seattle where I live, the Sounders regularly have a full stadium. That is the same stadium that hosts the Seahawks.

As expected, they can't spend much time on Mass Effect, when the "sci-fi shooter" time needs to go to Battlefront.
