The Legend of Korra game by Platinum Games is still the best Avatar licensed game, and no can't get it anymore. Unless you're going to bother with emulation or downloading the PC Port from a torrent. The flaws of digital only always showing its face. I'm sure this game will be fine, and there'll be many of old fans, and all the new fans getting attached to this, but like you, I am not invested.
Edit: Checking the comments, a lot of people want an open world game. I understand why, but I rather just have a standard action game where I can switch between characters.

Adam Sessler, the once wise-cracking, likable, sassy host of g4tv, has now devolved into insulting the very group of people who supported in for all these years.This is just but a ONE of his tirade of tweets insulting gamers.
Like, wtf happened to you, man? You made me laugh hard with your xplay reviews and the skits you worked on with the rest of the original g4tv cast. Are you that salty about backing up the wrong horse with frosk, and the shutdown of g4tv? Why not just take the fall with a bit of grace? TBH You could've just stopped at Rev3Games.
While the rest of twitter is dunking on this guy, I actually feel sad for him. He is so desperate to hang onto his relevancy.

I can't even feel bad for Adam. At one point I did, but that pretty much stopped after his God of War Ascension rant during his time at Rev3. I really hope Kate Batello is doing so much better than him. She left the game journalism scene early and I don't blame her for doing that, if this was going to be one of the outcomes she predicted. Adam, except the choices you made, acknowledge them, and move on. You attacking other gamers is not going to do anything. They're not at fault for your own mess.

I know you like to use this as a running joke, but not every asshole acts like an asshole, because some woman didn't like him back or didn't have sex with him. And I am in no way nor move trying to defend how he's been acting recently.

This is real life, not a movie, tv, nor web show. Treating life like that or as if everything is black and white, is why we have so many problems in the first place. A reminder that G4 shut down again, because the people at top didn't know how to handle their money and paid too much for extravagant stuff that was not needed in the building and office. A female co-host ranting was the least of G4's issues, nor the cause of its downfall again. She may not have done it the right way, but she has serious points. But we've all been over that and I'm not going to that part again. Also, they're such a diverse market for the past two decades, that a show like that isn't needed anymore. They're a dime a dozen now, with so much content and usually much better quality.

Oh their downfall is absolutely the quality. However shitting on your target audience is never a good move, even if it's justified.
Your audience wouldn't shit on your if you gave them a product they enjoyed/wanted. They failed to do that so even without the rant it was going to flop, the rant just sped things up because you invite trolls to bug you once you show them it gets under your skin.
This isn't even the first time that X-play or G4 ragged on its own audience. You know how many times they ripped on gamers for being FF7 or anime fans between 2004 and 2007? Not to mention that the skits became worse and worse. While there is some online content that is barely only worse than what G4 was now, back in the mid to late 2000s there was some web content that was worse than the worst X-play G4 episodes at times. Especially when nearly, everyone was trying to be AVGN or Nostalgia Critic. 2008 to 2011 was when X-Play got their act together and actually put out decent content, but the damage was already done by that point. The channel itself kept getting worse with lack of gaming or tech shows other than X-Play. Like I said before, the rise of those web shows in the late 2000s and early 2010s were eclipsing them every day.

"I've run out of ideas so I'm just going to slap random shit into my games and tell critics that they just don't get it."
I've seen concept art for a fantasy game (seemingly Nordic inspired) that Naughty Dog is working on, so I figure Nordic + Elden Ring = Profit!
You might even fight gnomes along the way.
On the other hand, I'd actually bet real money that it would be dark fantasy as well, because as far as I can tell, the line of Crash>Jak>Uncharted>Last of Us has had each IP be grittier than the one preceeding it. Make of that what you will.

Do we have a thread on the hubbub with Wizards of the Coast? More specifically, the DnD shenanigans currently making the rounds.
Got you covered:
D&D is 'Under-Monetized' According to WotC
The CEOs of WotC and Hasbro want to create a "recurrent spending environment" for Dungeons & Dragons, because D&D is under-monetized.

And some other bs that WOTC is pulling:
They are ruining Magic the Gathering, AND fucking over DnD content creators which are the biggest pushers and free advertisers of DnD products. It's like they are trying to kill themselves.Got you covered:

Wouldn't be the first time they screwed over their own fan base or people putting out free advertisement for them.
For them to have that line of thinking means they’re kinda already dead inside though. So yeah, basically zombies.
Auto-immune disease. They're trying to defend themselves but are just attacking their own "cells".
