Terrible? That game was a blast and a marvel at the time.

This site continually reminds of how old I am every fucking day.

Yeah, assuming a match is 10 minutes (which seems optimistic, from what I remember for overwatch) that’s nearly 17 hours of playing just to get out of what’s being sold as “the tutorial”.

I’d look at that and go play a game that I can finish in that timeframe instead, though I admit that I basically have no patience…

I’m just going to put this out there, Square are not a good publisher. They really cannibalise their studios and have unrealistic performance expectations. They really don’t support their teams and with the exception of a handful of games they don’t seem to care about properties.

Thicker skin? How about simply treating your fellow humans with some gods damned respect.

As was stated in the article you didn’t read, yes.
