Jesus fucking christ, this is out of control.

Wallet Flayers.  They’re like D&D Mind Flayers, but with MBA’s.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Aaron Keller will be out with another developer blog post about how important this kind of monetization is to support the longterm health of the game and how crucial it is for the OWL which is totally not a big focus for them still.

They god damn serious?

I’m not a businessman and I don’t have access to Activision-Blizzards books.

But I have just never seen a franchise completely destroy their ill will like Overwatch had. They had a good thing going giving regular updates to the base game, but between constant aggressive meta changes, destroying the original game, and…

See activision’s arm up the planning boards ass.

The point of Overwatch 2 was to turn a global phenomenon into a free-to-play, service game skinwalker. 

It was definitely 160GB last night. My guess is that the reason I had a 34GB update waiting this morning is that they’d uploaded the entire game in error, and switched it to a more demo-sized version today.

I know AI is “the devil” around here but company using software like it to help them craft a letter in a language that is not their native tongue is kinda whats its meant to do and its not a terrible thing

His crusade went both ways. The dev rights were used for his company’s personal benefits. The consumer side was still very much there. We as consumers would benefit because of some dreamland scenario where suddenly publishers passed savings onto us. But it was him trying to frame the consumer as the one who should be…

tbf, he was pretending he was some kind of champion of *dev* rights...

Tim Sweeney allowing propaganda geared towards children!? I would have never expected this from the man who misunderstood 1984 and shoved that in people’s faces while pretending he was some kind of champion of consumer rights. Surely the open “metaverse” will limit this kind of behavior from other companies. 

The AI one has some resemblance, and looks like a human being. The original looks like a bad potato carving of a LEGO man.

I was surprised when Sombra was added in Overwatch 1 given Jeff Kaplan’s hate boner for Team Fortress 2's Spy. Then again, they did so after removing the things they hated the most about Spy: the disguises and insta-kill backstab.

I liked the ending, if fit with the themes of the rest of the series, not sure why some people hated it so much.

I know it’s cool to shit on BGS nowadays but I’m absolutely in love with this game. I’m on NG+4 and choosing to stay in that universe until I get bored and I’m STILL finding new shit, which is insane. There are so many things, the humor, a specific sidequest that gets you a very special companion who I was absolutely…

A month already? I just got the finally got the Neon fragment last night. I think it’s fine. Yes, the fast travel is a bit much, but, whatever. I still think planet approaches would have worn out their welcome over time, like they did in ED.

He still faces a fraud charge, and is under FBI investigation.  Seems pretty embattled to me.

Scalpers truly ruin everything these days, it’s such a huge bummer. As someone that’s collected import Japanese figures from different series and manufacturers for years it’s a bummer to see the scalpers reaching so many new kinds of product and properties these days, nothing is safe.

Brought to you by the same “justice” system that believes its should be allowed to sue someone because you THINK they helped another person get an abortion ... even if you were the one who raped them and created the pregnancy in the 1st place.
