re:How My Boyfriend Made Me Fall in Love With Gaming.
I guess this is like a harlequin article for male nerds?
I have an excellent source for a companion article, she would write "How my boyfriend helped me confirm I have no interest in video games" |

| Whats the point of even doing an update. A seven year old could have pierced through the guile of these lying investment banker wank rags back when they first trotted out that they were moving forward with the dystopia as planned. |

"Overwatch saw 40% less disruptive behavior with the endorsement system"
Maybe. But part of it is coincidence too. Your endoresement system was released at a time when people were already tired of your shit, and burned out, and just play quickplay now because they just don't care anymore.
My pet theory is that this just gives something to do at the end of a match. Usually you're sitting there stewing in the potg that murdered your squad and getting gold with 2 kills, so its easy to lash out. This just distracts people long enough to get into the next match. |

| Blizzard old yellered HOTS, they went about this the worst possible way. I understand scaling back if you can't break through into the LOL DOTA size, but instead they just turned the table over like an angry 6 year old. Well I guess this was bound to happen anyway with those layoffs that landed today. |

On a positive note I'm enjoying this now on the platform it was made for - PS4. The auction house self detonation kept me off of it on PC but couch coop is smooth as butter on the sony gaming gnome.
lol the auction house hasn't been around for YEARS. You also cannot say the platform it was made for. It was NEVER made for console. It got babied to be consolefied with the controls.
The game came out on PC back in like 1995 and then part 2, finally 3 many years later. It was always a PC game first, and then console to collect more $$$ for Blizzard's pockets.
Woosh! |

| I think its pretty fun still. Its not going to overtake the big boys and they every rework makes support more boring somehow but I can get three pretty low stress games in during an hour and thats not something the other MOBAs can say at all. |

Re: Guitar Hero,
Much like steam, if what you own is dependent on someone's continued good will in regards to servers and content hosting, you effectively own nothing.
On the other hand, paying a couple bucks once for going on a decade rental of games now has been a pretty good deal. But Valve is more reliable than Activision and Sony (recently shuttered Gravity servers). |

re:Beamer
Sure the "Grandma and Jr. needs a computer" demo is probably saturated/fading, but it seems like gaming is still pretty healthy and despite twenty years of effort there's still no real competitor to Windows there. Nearly every "innovation" by Microsoft in the OS space has kind of made it worse for us anyway.
The big coup which this article doesn't really talk about was, imo, was when Apple got their ecosystem in. Tons of people think Apple is the UberBlack gateway to the internet. They had a chance to tap into the video game stream but they shied away from hardware solutions as usual and the Mac game situation remains pretty dire even on year 40. |

| After reading about everything, no strong feelings about Price (she's obviously slightly toxic although that seems pretty par for the course on twitter? And she's clearly being brigaded against), but I'm always surprised by how many people support corporations when it comes to gaming. |

No, but perhaps they should? I pay 70 bucks a month to use ~ 700 Gigs or so. The cost of them delivering that 700 Gigs is literally 0.7 dollars. So how about AT&T kicks in 20 bucks to a content provider pool?
This is an interesting idea, kind of like the way Prime memberships float the Twitch boat a little bit, although I doubt the current ISPs could pull it off well. |

I'll be the devil's advocate here even though I think ads are often poorly implemented.
To start with, paying for your ISP is not paying for content. They don't really have anything to do with each other.
Regarding how sites will make money, I think if you ask a person to steal or starve, they will steal. The paywall doesn't really work, the newspapers, which unquestionably have the best actual content worth paying for, continue to shrink despite growing online audiences.
Let talk about Patreon type models. I'm getting most of my conclusions from here(https://theoutline.com/post/2571/no-one-makes-a-living-on-patreon?zd=1&zi=454z6mjs), if you want to read more. We know that most people make jack shit from Spotify and Youtube payouts (2 million views is worth $1k apparently), so maybe directly sourced bespoke content from farm to patreon table is a better proposition? According the stats, 1400 people make above minimum wage on Patreon ($14k a year). In contrast, according to google the newspaper industry employs about 200,000 who make on average $85k.
One successful model is to BE Reddit, Google, Yelp, spotify or Netflix, direct IV content with relatively little intrusion, BUT they leverage hundreds of millions of subscribers and views to do that. These sites are the Walmarts of content.
How does anything smaller survive? Look at Dark Horizons (a good movie news site linked here on occasion). They have that awful video overlay ad on every page if you surf unblocked (I really really hate this). But no one would pay for movie news aggregation. Your remaining choices are navigating the totally fucked Kinja type UIs on yahoo movies or AV Club, if something happened a day ago good luck finding it. Taking yourself out of the equation, what does horizons guy do in this situation, choose to fold or inject clockwork orange style ad sprays? |

So Conan Exiles - a game designed for groups of people to explore, build castles, fight their enemies and survive the dangers of the world - is a shit single player experience.
Huh... who would have thought.
His videos were fun and refreshing when they were new, now they're just old, tired, and stale. I can watch 5 of them and laugh once.
I think he has good points here and there but also a lot of hot takes for the sake of it, mixed in with casual spoilers because he wants the clown on the ending or something. It's not very good as a review, I usually only watch them after I played the game or if I'm not interested. |
