Most sporting organizations have active programs that aim to combat racism and other detestable activities. The same should apply for eSport.

I don’t think ‘booming’ is the right word, but certain sports are definitely growing in popularity, for example women’s soccer is getting more popular everywhere, lacrosse in the US and golf in China. MMA-type sports was a boom though I’d say, it used to be something only professionals could do but now anyone can…

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of him, and after reading this article I decided to read some of his reviews.

You can blame Nvidia for that, they nestle their way into the game developer’s work to ensure these games run badly on anything that’s not the very latest of Nvidia.

At least it’s amusing to read their whole ‘back in the day ...’ preludes, hoping to grant themselves some credibility for the idiocy that is to come.

You could make the opposite argument, that TotalBiscuit and other GG-supporting reviewers are in fact conspiring to down-rate games they don’t politically agree with or developers they have personal vendettas against.

Considering the built-up hype I’m not surprised. It has become a franchise that both media and youtube streamers alike love to cover since it attracts a large number of views, which then leads to even more coverage. So is anyone surprised really ?

It would be very refreshing to get a Medieval RPG no magic, to have something more low-key with no spectacle attached to it.

I for one welcome our Chinese overlords, who will bring further competition to Western console and PC gaming.

That is quite cool.

It’s not a big leap from any other recent 4X space game though, like Star Ruler 2 or Galactic Civilizations 3. The gameplay in these kind of games is still very much the same.

I find Nvidia’s growing grip on PC gaming disturbing. It is slowly turning the PC into a console.
