This has nothing to do with “games as a service.” If it were a bunch of Anthem/Destiny-style games, I could see it, but this is just a different way for you to pay to play games. It’s like having Netflix versus buying a TV show on DVD.

Twitch is what it is, but esports isn’t wholly dependent on or tied to it, as evidenced by yesterday’s broadcast on Disney XD of both games bookending the currently less popular Tekken. Earlier in the year ESPN broadcast SFV, as well.

That’s how most game series work, yes.

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up. I’d probably get it except that there are so many other awesome games out at the moment.

As someone who didn’t really get into Enemy Within but likes strategy RPGs, is XCOM 2 going to hook me?

YES! That game deserves so much more love than it’s gotten. Definitely a Top 10 game for me.
