There’s no link or mention in this article that CDPR has literally said all of this before to Kotaku. 

You’re upset that Bethesda made a reskin of their own game from 8 years ago?

It’s absolutely in Starfield. Of the dozen or so people I’ve talked to playing it, none have done the same things in their first 20 hours. Virtually every review says the same thing. Everyone is drawn to some breadcrumb here or there.

“I, too, hate “Gamers” pretending to be experts on software development.”

Where’s the opinion? His message is objective and incorrect.

Ubi doesn’t have $2bn in cash or cash flow. Lars specifically calls out this is a cash flow deal.

Poor Miles Millar how will he go on.

Probably the one without an editor?

Sony developed and published MLB The Show does not support next gen Xbox wireless controllers for their flagship settings. If you try to use them, the game will throw wild pitches instead.

If you think Tencent doesn’t have a western presence, you’re just not paying attention to expansion.

Move decks require more pieces to play for value (torch included), while throwing in tech cards like Shang Chi into decks can represent a bunch of Nth best versions of different archtypes. This isn’t very surprising, I guess.

You also have to recognize that any very valuable card is likely to win the same number of…

Of course it did? Disney acquiring Fox propelled them to the #2 pure streaming service and gives them a virtual lock down on theater screens.

If you bought nicer clothes, Alyssa would make fun of you for trying.

No SBMM will be sweaty as hell because the only people who will play there are the top 5% skill players and masochists who will just get yelled at by those players for needing to be carried. 

If you do this, the higher skilled players will actually gravitate to no MMR lobbies and lower skilled players will either play the MMR ones or churn out and never return. It’s giving players the opportunity to have a bad time without them understanding why it’s bad. Generally a bad experience.

Yeah none of them likely do that. You’re just experiencing variance.

That’s “loose” not strong. Strong SBMM is using the SR adjustments that would most match a 50% win expectancy (not enforce a 50% lifetime winrate). If it’s changing your MMR to juice you into a high or low win rate, it’s looser than, say, Halo’s Trueskill/Truematch.

The complaint from half the folks here is exactly “I hate stomping one game and then the SBMM kicks in and I get stomped” which sounds like the SBMM is loose, not tight, exactly because of what Rubin explains.

They were teenagers who hadn’t burned out playing videogames for a decade yet.

CoD has basically always had SBMM.
