They only have to win once and have the resources to start new fights while we have to win every time and are volunteering.

Pricier cosmetics can be fine. The problem is that they were supposed to fund F2P games that didn’t have box prices and support ongoing development in lieu of subscriptions.

You’re missing such a key element of the history that got us here. Microtransactions were the follow-up to the subscription model. When Ultima Online and Everquest hit the streets, they offered to the mainstream a gaming proposition that had only existed on BBSs, many of which would charge a small monthly fee for…

Finally. OWL had been pinin’ for the fjords since year 3.

It was like a combination of the Dotcom bubble, the online journalism ad revenue crash, and Long Island Iced Tea Company changing their name to Long Blockchain, all rolled into one.

Many teams didn’t start out in their “host” cities. Many didn’t compete there. I…

One aspect of e-sports that is always an issue: If the underlying game/IP goes out of vogue and/or is killed by devs, your entire system crumbles in a (Relative) flash.

I played the entirety of Andromeda and did not recognize the word Kett

but given that the Kett invasion was still happening at the end of Mass Effect: Andromeda,

I can’t possibly express how sad this comment made me, because Master Chief only became larger than life once 343 took over and ruined everything that made Halo good. It used to be humanity vs the covenant. Now it’s Chief vs the universe. Shit sucks.

Control and Synthesis endings allow for a easy and logical return of Shepard. I don’t understand the “coward shit” line as Bioware needs this game to be successful after the Andromeda “bravery”. In isolation I would encourage more experimentation but we see that’s necessarily a strength in their cabinet.

I’d be okay in Andromeda as long as it’s within a better game. 

Yeah the pointless factions is pretty much a thing of the past now. You can join guilds together and do most group content together. Think it’s really only a matter of time before they are done away with completely. And rightly so, the faction “wars” have been so damned forced since vanilla that it’s just plain silly.…

Well Chris Metzen only worked on like... one of those expansions... but now he’s back!

I fell off the wagon years ago, what problems did Thrall cause?

Oh, we’re just NOW in the worldsoul saga? It hasn’t been going on for the last three previous expansions before Dragonflight? You know the one where the dude with the big ass sword who’s entire motivation is to destroy the worldsoul was dealt with, or the expansion that was all about the wordsoul’s blood leaking all…

Warcraft has never been subtle about their Marvel influences.

To Thrall! The cause of, and solution to, all of Azeroth’s problems!”

Yeah, I’d delete that shit real fast.

Or people just trying to live their lives and trying to enjoy the view and the normal las vegas experience that F1 is fucking up lol.

Right, if the bridges are open for viewing the race, they’re going to be packed like a sardine can for possibly days beforehand.

We used to have a load of those for the Game Boy in Brazil.
