I think Nate saying he is anticipating an edit has gotten people thinking its no longer a General and will fall to a mini/partner. Though he could just be preparing for a potential edit without any new info.There's really no point in trying to draw any definite conclusions from what Nate said about it potentially being a Partner/Mini.
He's said before that he doesn't know about the branding but about some of the stuff that's included. There have also been games he straight up didn't know about. Worst case scenario he found out about a game not being in the Direct after all which is shaking his confidence. It's hardly worth getting bent out of shape for.
