Read the actual post, Blizzard are literally saying “you can skip all this if you pay $40".

I see you skipped the part where they outlined all this can be skipped if you pay $40, literally demonstrating it is nothing but F2P grind bullshit.

“Pre-order now!”

Great they’re putting so much effort into the PC port but I’d be surprised if they don’t end up destroying it all with Denuvo malware.

Imagine someone saying “I’m sick and tired waiting in the sidelines for someone to fix our broken system while people are suffering and dying so I will be running for office” and get the reply “wow you have an inflated ego”.

My thought exactly. At first, I thought the announcement was just a joke/parody, given how close it is to the GTA leaker’s infamous claim to know about game development. But here is this one with the exact same tone.

He has over 7 million subs and his videos get over 3 million views. That isn’t ego.

The fuck does this have to do with anyone’s ego?  If I had a few million in the bank, I’d also probably want to get into funding cool projects.  If you watch his more serious review videos, it’s obvious he’s got a keen critical eye, and obviously has a ton of experience figuring out what makes games fun, so this seems…

...that reads as inflated ego? He thinks he can help, he’s trying to help. Helping. If it crashes and burns at least he’d have done more than any of us have ever done.

We’ll see what AMD does. If they can put out a card at nearly 50% the price for similar performance then we might actually seem team red gain some real market share.

I know I said “I’m good with AMD’s for my CPU, but I’ll never drop Nvidia for a GPU”, but with these prices I’m pretty sure I’ll make the sacrifice.

AMD has had multiple opportunities to do this but always ends up pricing their cards barely under Nvidia's prices while having vastly inferior drivers and software

Don’t. Pre. Order. Games.

Nonono. See, anyone who likes the game is a good person, and anyone who hates the game is an alt-right racist misogynist. There’s no middle ground.

That’s a bit of a generalization. I’m pretty sure most of the negative reviews don’t come from right-wingers. From what I understand, the biggest complaints revolve around the lack of polish and the generic and formulaic nature of the side-missions that must be completed to progress. The latter is a common complaint…

Extra! Extra! Optional Service of Great Use to Many People Doesn’t Appeal To One Specific Journalist “Blogger”! Mere Existence Met with Suspicion, Doubt! Allegedly Threatens to “Change The Very Hobby Itself”, Somehow!

ffs “grognard blows new way to play game wildly out of proportion”
you say this may divide the hobby like this isnt already the most divisible group of nerds in existence. every change is treated like a god damn existential crisis while completely ignoring that none of the old ways to play are going away or changing.
im…

Final Fantasy isn’t the thing having issues with adapting, Square Enix management is the problem.

This! 

Meanwhile kotaku literally just ran an article this week saying “ps Plus is better” lmao which is quantifiably untrue because of the exact piece of advice given here.
