I think it was ultimately just a case “too much” coming out that year, with Deltarine Chapter 2 coming up in a surprise reveal, Doodle Champion Island Games also showing up and being considered by many to be Google’s most impressive game, and the most recent Ratchet & Clank getting in because it introduced a new playable female character. Obvious certain people couldn’t resist that. ;)
