I mean, you pay more for more content. You pay $70 for the $70 of content included in the game, and then... you pay more... if you want the additional content they continue to add after that... Idk. “You can’t sell additional things if you launch at a premium price” just seems like a weird line to me. Like is the…

They are reading the room, and it’s making them a shit ton of money.

Meanwhile the rest of the current player base is actually thankful for these changes which will:

This isn’t free to play grind bullshit as much as it is, “we want you to learn this game and its mechanics before jumping into games with other people who very much know what they’re doing”

ultimately the issue to overcome is there is no bipoc folks in the group, so they’re trying to address this at the margins with the best intentions but it’s really just not satisfying ultimately. it’s a tough ask given the the whole endeavors grassroots origins - nobody was “hired” - the whole thing started out as a…

I mean, the article is literally about “anime purists” (lol wtf is that?) shitting on something because it wasn’t the anime/Japanese.

You didn’t watch it yet because you didn’t think it would be good enough, you wanted to like it but you never actually gave it a chance to be liked.

I’m not sure why people are so quick to blame the hardcore anime fans. The show wasn’t cancelled because of some toxic harassment campaign. It was cancelled because not enough people watched. Speaking purely for myself, my decision to put off watching it had nothing to do with what “anime purists” said. I really liked…

I think Final Fantasy XIV is responsible for a bigger hit to WoW's numbers than New World. 

I wish Twitch would just make an adult section and be done with all this.

As others have pointed out, Activision Blizzard lay people off regardless. They laid off a bunch right after reporting record profits.

That was my first thought, too. As far as I can tell, most pro sports have around 30 teams, and OWL is still a ways away from that. Though, if half the tanks really do get cut, I can’t imagine they’re gonna make 10+ new teams. But even a few new ones would help absorb players.

Yeah this is kind of my takeaway too - even the excerpt used in this article is super weird. It seems like the author was trying to bait her into giving quotes about political issues she didn’t really want to comment on and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I get that it’s your job as a journalist to get juicy quotes…

tends to be how boycotts work lol 

Well, there’s that famous screenshot of the “Boycott Modern Warfare 2" steam group on the game’s release day. So personally, I don’t doubt some of them will be the same people.

That is always my end goal. To become so OP I blaze through the final Zone.

I think it would be fine if the game actually treated us like we are, ala FFXIV. But instead we get lip service to it and all the other characters are the real heroes.

The cap for me was Cata. At the end of Deathwing, it felt like there was no other way the game could make me feel more directly involved in stopping a world ending event. And now everything else just feels kinda pointless.

My character is so tired of being the lynchpin of Azeroth’s redemption. Can’t these god modded main characters do anything for themselves for once?

I do agree that it feels like getting to Lv. 50 is too easy and quick right now, and that it should have been slowed down a fair bit.
