I used to play WWIIOnline (which is still running) extensively, and while it’s kind of a stretch to call it a MMO

People use it to congratulate the other side for good shots for example. Why do you internet pessimists always just assume enemy voice chat ONLY includes trolling and harassment?

How is there a debate? Like I said to the other guy, if I make a Street Fighter replica, and call it a racer, it still isn’t a racer and that’s not up for debate.

It doesn’t matter what the devs call it. That’s ridiculous. If I made a game that was an exact copy of Street Fighter, and told you it was a racing game, are you going to call it a racing game?

i doubt there is a literal profict deficit they need to fill by shoving microtransactions down people’s throats.

Here let me help. Why do people play pick-up games of basketball?

Doesn’t that make you question what the hell you were doing playing the other entries for so long?

Hi, programmer for 7 years here. Let me give you some real information.

I’ll assume you’re commenting in good faith despite your use of an awful buzzword like “identity politics,”

Exactly. Thank you.

What does being white have to do with anything?

Buh derp

Nothing happened. It has always been like this except there are more younger people online now so you get more childish behavior.

People waaaaayyyy overestimate the value of chit chatting with strangers on a multiplayer game.

You sound like JonTron in the interview when he said, “You speak flowery language, ya know? It doesn’t mean you’re right.”

Fucking. Amen.

We’re talking about you as if you’re not present, not patting ourselves on the back.
