Well, its a Q&A session with Management, and a chance to inject spin, and do a PR promotional “Dog & Pony” show.
Accept it for what it is, as it does serve some purpose, and for that, to have someone like the Community Manager moderate the Q&A , is quite appropriate.
But maybe what is also needed, is the restoration of some Technical Q&As, with the Asobo Software Engineers, Designers and SDK team, and that Moderated by a Technical Moderators, who can ask, and pursue answers to complex technical questions.
Maybe even a different Guest Technical Moderator each Q&A, invited from some of the major 3PD teams.
Even if only one or two topics are covered in each Q&A - cover them is sufficient detail, to make it worth while, and spread some significant technical information.
ie Please bring back the Technical (SDK) Q&A sessions
