It should be pointed out that Niemann is only 19, so “as a child” was just three years ago.

right? classic “uhh i meant to do that”

SURE. WE BELIEVE YOU.


(we do not)

It isn’t even really broken. People are annoyed they don’t get to pubstomp every match and don’t seem to understand their connection issues are absolutely not universal. Maybe there’s a case to be made for the very top end ranked lobbies being a bit unbalanced but Respawn has always said they’re prioritizing queue…

I can’t help but think that if this had worked as intended, “troubled game experiences massive player dropoff” is likelier to get the game abandoned than fixed.

Customers won’t use what they don’t even know about.

Didn’t even know this was a thing. 

Anything that keeps the Steam storefront from looking like a circa 2005 Myspace page is a good thing. You can show your accolades, just not all over the cover.

In their defense Microsoft allowed, and still does, users to stack gold (up to 3 years max) and then upgrade it all for only $1. So there is already precedent in the market for this just being a part of the deal to get players to initially sign up (after converting then you only get the prorated amounts based on…

I have limited free time throughout the week & if my chosen time of day to play (after the kids go to bed, weekends, etc) doesn’t jive with their servers, the game won’t work properly?
