Being down to 800 players only 2 months after release is absolutely a story considering this game is a squad-based MP game. It means the game is essentially dead.

Yeah this game isn’t really for you if you didn’t like Aliens or much of the expanded universe from novels/comics/games/toys.

I found a new bug, today.  I only saw your Penny Arcade response if I just hit “All Comments”.  If I choose to “Show Pending” (which I usually do), it doesn’t appear.  Makes me wonder how much I am/have been missing.  :(

oddly enough, about the same? https://steamcharts.com/app/997070

That’s actually a pretty easy line to draw.

This is what he was TRYING to say, and you’re right, it is not a radical or offensive idea even by today’s standards. However, he used horrible phrasing that had a direct comparison between homosexuality and pedophilia, something that when extracted from his intent and from the overall idea he was trying to convey is…

That’s because the cease-and-desist letters did the trick.

The general feeling in the hobby is that it isn’t so much an outreach activity as it is a way to paywall the game’s rules in a new way. At the moment the model for rules release relies on players being willing to sporadically buy the books. This shifts it to a subscription model, where hopefully each fan will be…

They had to aggressively kill fan-made content to make Warhammer+ look remotely worthwhile. When your paid service can be so undermined by free, fan-made content to the point you go ham with lawyers, it probably isn’t worth the price.

The irony is I think they diminished interest in the service by attacking creators…

Its a decent enough service, but has TONS of room for improvement. The fact that it is split between 3-4 apps and websites is insane. They really need to optimize the Vault content. It is straight up PDFs of scanned books. It is hell to read on any screen, especially mobile.
And they really should be utilizing their…

It isn’t and it hasn’t.

“Non-hard core fans will have other ways in.”

Well, we know what Henry Cavill will be watching in his downtime.

It wasn’t mentioned in the article (or I missed it), but GW also went full scorched-earth with independently created content prior to the launch of Warhammer+. Some creators were wiped out with content claims, some have moved on to other IP, and a lucky few now have contracts with GW. “Either work for us for pennys,…

How is a product aimed at a small subset of a niche hobby anything but a failure on arrival? Those animations could have gone on amazon or netflix to bring a ton of new people (aka paying costumers) into the hobby. Such a waste of talent and material.

We could expose players to iterative design in video games again, but try it a little differently this time.

“Gacha games are popular because they’re designed around players’ emotional investment in their characters and gambling is addictive”

All the more reason they should be more diligent about cracking down on misinformation, false advertising, and bigotry. If you don’t want people claiming you’re profiting off seedy, shady, or immoral shit, and you profit off literally everything on your platform, then don’t allow seedy, shady, or immoral shit on said p…

Didn’t he create Facebook as a version of Hot or Not? The poster boy for only viewing women as sexual object.

Yes, that right there is the face of man who cares about women’s rights, and not that of a budding incel who just happened to get rich enough to buy the women he wanted.
