After the Switch handheld's public announcement phase concluded.
The top player even considerately granted the audience a digestion period.
It was as if they guessed that the audience would be shocked, dumbfounded, and unable to resist exchanging whispers or flooding the internet with comments.
They allowed everyone about 5 minutes of intermission to settle their emotions.
During this period, staff members pushed carts around the venue, freely distributing milk tea or other beverages, and bottled water to the audience.
There were also some complimentary snacks.
And even though these were freebies, they were anything but perfunctory.
Every beverage or snack that the audience members received was served in open-topped cups, large and small, each emblazoned with the character illustrations from various game IPs under the top player's brand.
