Heads up: Your link says the Steam VAC ban badge is seven years, not ten.

Guys. Guys. GUYS. Chill. He is asking a question. Don’t shit on people for asking questions. If you think the answer is “no” just explain yourself. Don’t shame people for prompting discussion. The first step to learning is asking.

I really, really hope you don’t play the chimp. I’ve been looking forward to this game forever, but I honestly don’t think I could handle that writing and vocal delivery for an entire game.

(a) That’s definitely not on the high side for engineers. (b) That doesn’t account for employee expense unpaid to employees such as insurances and taxes - like 15-20% of salary on top of what they pay out in annual. (c) That assumes that this company has literally no other expenses, such as office space, equipment,…

Unless you’re offering a literal gift (like putting this out there for free) then this statement is essentially pure ego: “a gift back to the readers for sticking with me for this much time.”

You have every right to take issue with a game developer’s decisions. You have no right to circumvent that decision and distribute a modification of their product without their express permission. If you really think you’re “fixing” something by altering it, then don’t rip the game - release a patch that only works on…

Yeah, I actually feel like this is his first good unique skin so far (xmas might have been great if there weren’t a ton of near identical “person in Santa hat” skins alongside of it), and strongly disagree that there’s any cultural insensitivity on display here. Black people have powerful representation in popular…

So ... how are you not in trouble for admitting all of this?

I think there’s a distinction between what is and isn’t “accurate” (by every account these people existed, so, yeah, it IS accurate by any definition of the word) and what’s appropriate to include in the game. The latter seems to be your issue. You admit they existed, but you don’t think there were enough of them to…

“Let’s Make Rhythm Action Great Again” - barf

I just saw. Looks like it’s been reported the cost is about two million. Now it makes sense.

This might just be me being thick, but what are they talking about here: “prohibitive costs they’ll have to pay in order to join it.” Cost of maintaining/paying a team? Blizzard fees? Something else? Second question, what’s the dollar estimate on those costs? How is it so expensive that multiple organizations that…

You know you’ve hit the big time when the headline refers to your work as “Video Game”.

As a Diamond-ranked player (which I mention only because it shows I play a lot), I think the real issue with Hanzo is not that he sucks—it’s that it’s difficult for a lot of people to see where and how he fits in team comp. When comp sucks in solo queue (which is constant), and people aren’t discussing it on mics…

You may as well say gaming is toxic. Hell, you may as well say life is toxic. Overwatch has 30 million players. When you match, you’re placed with 11 other human beings of different backgrounds, politics, country of origin, education, and (perhaps most importantly) age.

Yeah, it does, thanks. I’ve just been looking at PCs and am usuuuually a sucker for this sort of thing, but it’s always a balance of “neat” vs “practical.” Every dollar spent on renewable hardwood is one fewer on a processor, etc. etc. I’m sure it’s totally worth it for the right person, but if I was spending that…

Any sort of price comparison on those internal components as packaged in a run-of-the-mill plastic tower? In other words, how much am I paying for that pretty walnut shell/layout?

Not hating on it at all, just curious. I hadn’t realized there was any real fanbase for that sort of thing. :-)
