In other words, no one who's making a real living at it, unlike the people propping it up that I mentioned earlier in this thread. Twitch ad revenue has significantly underperformed projections over the past several years that commerce revenue like subs is bringing in more money at this point...

So that raises the question, if viewership correlates to knowledge of the platform, how much do you and your friends with 10 really understand about it?

^ Isn't this the guy with like 10 viewers who thinks he and his friends define the service?

Well that's just a cop-out. They can't segregate these concepts and still have an MMO with a consistent shared world.

It's no coincidence that all MMOs with a design focus on PvP have been shit MMOs, and I say this as someone with no interest in PvE-only games.

Song requests lol. How boring is it to watch someone else play videogames that they have to play disc jockey too.

You'd have to be utterly out of touch with the history of MMOs and its lineage of successively shittier games over the past two decades to think this won't be anything but more derivative garbage to pile atop the trash heap of the genre.

Not that lore makes a damned bit of difference in any game, let alone an MMO, but a Markov chain text generator seeded with Pokemon fan fiction could produce a story more compelling than LoL's.

They wouldn't even have to do any new writing since this show's dialogue already reads like generic quest text from a videogame.

They weren't recreating the game from documents, everything they needed (code, data, assets) was backed up. If they'd had to do even half the work the emulation scene has put into the game there never would've been a WoW Classic.

Yeah, it requires way less skill despite a similar degree of autism.

Apparently Jenna Marbles, one of the original youtube attention whores, is his beard.

Watch, some blind streamer out there ends up losing visibility because he has to re-title all his streams.

Noticed this in her timeline: The sheer self-righteousness it takes to deliver a lecture like this would make even the Pope blush, but it's just business as usual for a soulless social media parasite.

Speedrunning: When Beating a Dead Horse Just Isn't Enough

Yeah those two UI details are clearly what's keeping this generic abomination from standing out among the crowd.

We almost got Privateer Online, and I guarantee that would've been at least 334 million times better than whatever SC ultimately becomes. Anyone who remembers the Strike Commander fiasco nearly 30 years ago shouldn't be surprised at the state of Star Citizen; it was the point when Roberts'...

It's literally random name generator fare.

Grogu sounds like the fucking name of a school for pirates. youhad1job.jpg

FSR is like a refugee camp for the retards who got BTFO of the Politics thread or were too cowardly to post there in the first place.

Bartle claims that the guy who coined the term "massively multiplayer" actually did so to describe the type of game you mentioned in your first example, a larger session-based type instead of a "world" game. https://books.google.com/books?id=SK5PCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA123#v=onepage&q&f=false He goes...

Supergreg was the peak of this hack's career.

Well, there's the plain fact that the former has a playerbase only 1/8th that of the latter, regardless how it's partitioned. I don't consider population density to be the defining criterion.

Knock an M off the acronym then, since "massive" as a designation will no longer be applicable in any sense.

There will never even be a successor to WoW, let alone something that kills it. The era of the MMORPG is over, it's been over, it's not coming back. The "next big thing" will be some non-game virtual world a la Second Life (only shittier, if such a thing is possible) integrated with social media.

It's not just the current team, this has been Blizzard's M.O. since the very beginning.

Yeah why waste time writing B-movie level narratives for your game when you can just get AI to do it for you.

Are these three things really any different?

What did you expect from a American Inventor?

Two decades ago they were lampooning UO because you could bake bread in it. Now we have unironic showcase videos for fishing. The future isn't now, it was then. P.S. this game is a turd

Plot twist: @Falxy-US himself was the artist of these abominations all along and came here to sate his secret masochism with our criticisms.

Don't quit your day job as a cardiac surgeon just yet, @Sadre Spinegnawer. If there's incentive to multibox in your game then you've already lost by design (literally). Attempting to limit/restrict boxing after the fact will only earn you the contempt and resentment of your players, those who...

Reeks of Albion Online just with less cartoonish graphics. Euros can't help but to make the same shit game every time.

lol the music industry still living in denial for 20+ years. Also, watching people play videogames rots your brain.

Then light my pants on fire because they just can't. Even annoying tricks like gating content via keys/attunes or narrowly applicable non-solutions like procedural generation only delay the inevitable, that player consumption will always outpace dev production. God might have created the world...

Bartle wrote about this problem like 15 years ago. https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/2157/soapbox_why_virtual_worlds_are_.php

Who wants to live forever?

Any dev who'd actually want to play their own game is in the wrong line of work.

Holy shit, @Lumi is right about something for once. Maybe the world is ending after all... Friendly fire on AoE and projectiles (though I can imagine this making their region servers shit the bed in larger engagements) would go a long way toward mitigating the blob problem. I haven't touched...
