Possibly. But then we’re almost a decade out from the launch of League of Legends, and it’s still one of the top competitive multiplayer games out there, along with a few beefy competitors. Despite the fact that it’s the same map, the same meta, almost every single game. All while its base genre (RTS) has basically…

I mean, sorta? But at the end of the day, the success of Fortnite BR wouldn’t be a problem if those games already had healthy player bases. What hurt those games is lack of interest, more than anything else (I got like $100 worth of free stuff in Paragon with the purchase of my gtx 1080, and I never bothered to use…

I think they’re making the game fully F2P, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually helps to increase the player base for that game.

Well originally when BC launched, they were going from a 60 level leveling experience to a 10 level leveling experience, so the XP was just brutally slow compared to 1-60. And that didn’t really change for a while, at least until Cata. Heirloom gear sped things up, but it actually almost made it worse in a sense,…

Ayup. He talks purdy, but he’s just another down the line, right wing asshole.

And now we’re all thankful there’s no voice chat!

After the Cata revamp of the the vanilla zones, it’s now the “oldest” content in the live game. As such, it’s missed out on much of the optimization that’s happened since then. Some historic problems:

They also released it at a time when you needed a fairly high end computer to get PUBG to run at a stable 60 FPS. They swooped in and picked up a lot of those players who were interested in a BR type game but couldn’t get PUBG to run well.

Great big volume with very little mass, is a low density body with a big fat ass.

You had me at “you don’t have to do Outland”.

Yeah I had a feeling something like this was coming. Compared to everything else that has happened with MeToo thus far, there’s been a TON of backlash to this story. And not just the usual hot takes from the usual professional apologists like Flanagan, but others whom I usually agree with, as well as more than a few…

But then there are non-hormonal options like copper IUDs.

They already did. It’s gone.

Well, we don’t know that. We’ll have to wait and see if the babies come with EULAs.

FFS just get some whore pills.

That’s great and all, but seriously: how the hell do you pronounce his name? Timothy? Tim-o-thee-ee? Tim-o-thay-eee?

Oh yes, it was an extremely contentious issue, to the point where they were called the “feminist sex wars”, which took place mostly around the early 80's. Generally regarded as the beginning of the end of the 2nd wave and heralding the rise of the 3rd wave in the 90's.

Oh don’t even get me started on that one... I don’t need improv comedy in a sci-movie about battling ghosts, thanks.

Maybe they’re doing a more editorialized, analytical look at this story and waiting until the dust settles to release it? idk

While I disagree with you on some details, I feel the same way as a feminist-ish woman who was underwhelmed by the execution of the ideas TLJ tried to explore. I wanted more interaction between Rey and Luke, I wanted a more satisfying reason for Kylo turning other than “something something Dark Side” and Temporary…
