From a business standpoint, early Forge release would nullify the act of official maps being used to showcase or highlight the appeal of new seasons.

It's been 4 months since release. Time spent during a delay doesn't count.

Whenever I feel myself getting “bored” of the red meat in this game - which I think isn’t likely to really happen anyway - I move onto something else. Be it another game, another whatever, etc. And though days and weeks may pass before I return, that’s the way it should be.

It is definitely not *consistently* fun to focus on Halo Infinite’e XP Challenges to grind out the seasonal pass. That’s why, since November 15 2021, I’ve inefficiently accrued less than 40 levels and didn’t make it past halfway in the recurring Tenrai event pass. I didn’t even bother with boosts until this last…

I still don’t agree with why there would be re-balancing for [new] meta builds in single player / co-op games. Though emerging metagames would come about anyway when a game's community develops at launch 

Harassment? Uh, okay, some people are getting harassed, sure.... regardless, everybody subjected to the dark side of elitism are experiencing - specifically - contempt, derision, dismissal, and basically anything adding up to condescension. Be specific with what negativity is thrown around, via harassment or not.

This isn't limited to beginners

I just refuse to buy Horizon: Zero Dawn (CE) on any PC platform, seeing as how I specifically sprung for another year of PS+, last year, to get that and Control UE.

How is any of that considered meta (either metaversal or metagaming)?

Looks like Epic & Sony are endeavouring to branch out beyond video games via joint ventures. 

This is basically what watching yourself in a Forge theatre replay (or good players in general) has been like since Reach.

Got a bit of a backlog? I’ve still yet to touch a few MS games on GP, myself.

Being an anal retentive pedantic dork and part-Black man myself, combing cyberspace over the use of old and new words alike, I have not seen “sus” once during this pandemic (at least in the last year), if ever.

That's funny, bc Canadians and Brits don't care about yours, either!

They use it as a way to test mental mettle, rather than testing veracity. 

Even if I had bothered to finish KH3 + Remind, after two years of playing it via Game Pass (which had probably been quietly extended beyond it’s first reported expiration date, no less), I’d probably still get confused by this.

No that sounds a lot like sugarcoating, but I gotcha: throw around the p word as if its supposed to mean something other than an easy barely-working out.

That will happen anyway, ffs. Enough 

Well, tough.

People who want to play the missing content are instead apparently dropping the game and spending quite a bit of their free time trash talking it, and everyone else disagreeing with them. So you definitely hit the nail head with that assessment.
