Yeah, it's not a game that's easy to walk away from in the middle of the match. If you play with friends you can sometimes get them to pause for you, but its not always a certain thing.

While I'm sure Bungie gets a lot more control over their game than other devs, aren't things like timed DLC, pre-order incentives and alpha/beta access decided by the publisher?

Once the e-sports scene has even 0.00001% of the money traditional sports have, I'm sure they will start considering having permanent official substitutes on their team rosters.

Hmm, where did you get that information from? Are you talking about allowing stand-ins? Because that is different than having reserved players on the bench that can be swapped out between matches. I don't think I've ever seen that before in pro dota.

It's mostly about the money. Sure The International pays out huge money (historically only to the top 8, that may change this year), but all the other tournaments have prize pools orders of magnitude less than TI. If you have official alternates, you have to split that prize money 6 ways, and that also means that…

? I don't sense that at all, though I'll admit I don't always get sarcasm over the internet.

I'm pretty sure 48/60 fps will just be an option that uploaders can choose (that probably won't even be enabled by default because it will take double the space on YT's servers).

You kidding me? Dear God, what am I doing with my money.

If he's not what? Indian? Delsin is Native American, I was asking if it was a joke that you thought Indians and Native Americans were ethnically the same.

Delsin is Native American... I'm pretty sure that was a joke... right?

Just making sure! :)

Aww, yeah, you're the best!

Wait, are we turning this into an Ouran gif thread? Because I need one today.

His name was Isaac Clarke, and I'm pretty sure he was white.

Yeah, I realized after I wrote my post that Ghale is a Nepalese name. But its still awesome!

... You are joking right?

Holy shit, an Indian protagonist in a AAA game? Think this might be a first.

Uhhhh, no. Putting E3 in the name is just something a dev would do because, well, E3 is a milestone and a lot of custom code would be written just to make it work on stage since the game is likely far from being shown in any real capacity.

So, now I'm totally not trying to pull the "I'm a software developer, so I'm right" card here, but I just want to say that its generally much more complicated than that. It might run better for many people, however you will often get a report from your QA guys that it breaks the game completely for X subset of people.…

Sure, I agree!
