Honestly...I don’t even care? It’s still better than the previous “Put your shortcuts all over your desktop or slap them all in some folder” IMO, especially since launchers bring some value through automatic updates and cloud saves (depending on the launcher) etc.

...it took a year for this? Great change and very, very needed.

Kinda hilarious that this game that was supposed to be set up for quicker chances to support esports is only making these changes, which were originally planned for S2, because of massive community outcry.

I don’t know how big she is and didn’t know anything about her before this whole affair, but is she trying to speedrun destroying her career? Because I think Kanye already won that speedrun and she should probably stop competing.

Wait...there’s no button to “skip categories” for the skins or anything? That’s even pretty basic Netflix etc. UI functionality so you can skip over the currently shown options in a list and get to the next set of shows/movies to the left/right.

Yes, and apparently that’s their justification for the 30fps cap on console. Which based off the analysis we’ve seen on console and PC...seems a bit suspect.

I’m gonna get real petty, but their intentional capitalization of “Patch” really annoys me. Unless that’s the proper name for the update, lower case. It’s not like patching games is new and confusing and that developers and consumers are still figuring out what that means, this has been par for the course even last…

Wait, so the company with no business plan that was bailed out by retail investors memeing STILL DOESN’T HAVE A BUSINESS PLAN AND IS JUST THROWING SHIT AT A WALL HOPING SOMETHING STICKS?

Oh...oh no. How predictably disappointing.

Everything I’ve read mostly shows the core game is still very solid fun and all...

Activision seems to be collecting lawsuits like trading cards.

It seems like every rockstar developer that made some great games a decade or three ago are all coming out of the woodwork with crypto-grifts. At least he’s not slumming it as much as Richard Garriott is with his latest crypto project where the multi-millionaire is begging users to crowdfund his “passion…

That moment when the producer/head for the NBA2K franchise appears to have more sway with sports media and the franchise than an actual professional player.

Somehow I don’t think OP was complaining about Denovo and piracy, but rather Denovo’s very real impact on performance in many games.

It’s like Blizzard took most of the worst parts of battle-pass focused F2P monetization, removed all the other progression from the game (proper rewards for account levels, end of round screens with awards etc.), and thought people would be excited having no actual way to earn skins in-game as they used to previously.

Between this and discovering that Amoranth or whatever is apparently controlled by her abusive husband and hasn’t been “girlbossing” her career (she has been in that she’s grown it off her own talent, whatever your opinion of that is, but clearly not purely of her own volition according to what I read about her husband…

Executives are just throwing everything at the wall until that GME/WSB money dries up and they have to face the reality that the company still doesn’t have a functional business plan despite retail meme investors saving their asses and giving them years to figure out a strategy.

$2B for Oculus plus countless billions more invested and they still don’t have functional legs. I didn’t think the announcements/event could get even more underwhelming and embarrassing for the Zuck.

I feel horribly for the OW team itself still, but good lord...was Kaplan really the glue holding it all together? I know it’s likely more complicated than that and it’s extremely rare one person has that much influence on a project worked on by hundreds but like...damn man.

Back in the day we used to call these “expansion packs”. The times are a changin and these damned kids need to stay off my damned law.
