Indie publisher Devolver Digital kept up its mid-year custom of cramming more wild moments than all of its competitors combined into an indulgent, expletive-laden 45 minute routine of game previews and behind-the-scenes scheming through the Devolver Direct 2020, a "live pre-recorded event" broadcast on July 11.

Everyone has an uncle who works at Nintendo, including Devolver Digital's fictitious CEO and annual showcase host Nina Struthers, whose portfolio includes Shadow Warrior 3, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout and a brain reprogrammed by her Chief Marketing Officer, Linda Masters, the corporate equivalent of Harley Quinn.
