It's like paying an apprentice plumber to come practice on his first 40 toilets so he can get his business off the ground, with the added privilege of being able to call him when your shitter inevitably stops working. What's particularly bizarre is how few other consumer industries operate this way. But somehow, the gaming industry has managed to normalize charging customers full admission to help build the product they're eventually supposed to be buying. What a time to be alive.

If we had verity of this sort of game sure. But we don't . Its wow like slop, crazian grind slop, eq emulator slop.

The correct analogy would be that you were asked to use an experimental toilet that functioned as a normal toilet. After years of weird ass hole in floor toilets being the only offering.

Sure but then at the end you’re inexplicably handed a pine cone because the toilet designers think “things were better before TP was invented.”

And when you ask “err… can I at least just get a corn cob?” all the new toilet fanboys shout “OMG GO BACK TO FLOOR TOILET, BIDET-BOY!”

It's kind of a weird analogy you're throwing around, because I think it's a bit disingenuous. They had a beta where we could play for free for quite some time. They hosted the servers on their own dime and worked for free. They flipped the switch to EA and charged a relatively small price to play in EA. It was never advertised as a full launch and most people signing up knew that. Some reddit posts about the launch really showed how retarded people are, but I digress.

There's always the joke that WoW always fucks up because they're indie devs. This is a company that actually is. They're trying to make a game in a genre that's very expensive. It's also very niche. If Blizzard had pulled this shit to play in beta it'd be disgusting... Oh wait they did. And people paid.

39 is so bad, that when you hit 40 - you'll blink and you'll be into the next hell level. Its like those levels are non-existent they go so fast.

Somehow I missed Demolition Man growing up. My parents were prudes but I still watched Terminator and the like at my friends’ houses. Watched this movie for the first time (I know I know) a couple months ago. Man I missed out on a fucking good one, and watching it now having not seen it before, some of the commentary is just incredibly on the nose.

This is my way of saying:

Now I see the sea shells everywhere and I know they’ve been there this whole time. I’m a terrible 80’s kid.

Ok yeah 39 does suck donkey dick

Didn't rampage claim they thought 51-60 hell levels were bugged? Should probably adjust their exp accordingly

Games doomed to fail, boomer design, friction is stupid, nobody wants to play this, any design that isn't following the "solved" solutions in the genre is retarded and you should feel stupid for wanting it.

Surely I'm missing some of our biggest brain critical viewpoints? Imagine pulling $400k in subs directly competing with the most successful WoW product ever?

Critics in shambles

Alright alright let's calm the fuck down. I was looking at the positive to be chill because I know people's pussies start to quiver if you say anything too pessimistic about the game.

I could have easily said that daily active users have dropped 36% in the last 9 days. Peak CCUs are down by nearly half.

Either way, I don't think 6 weeks in is remotely close to being able to draw any conclusions about the long term viability of the choices made here.
