Translation: Our game didn't generate the interest we had hoped so we're going to do this in an attempt to get people to pay full price for a game that will be FTP within 6 months.

Me and my friends all picked up quest 2's after air link went live and 2 weeks later we all returned them. Being wireless still doesn't make it fun when the games still lack any real fun and are pretty much much just clones of each other with a different skin. Can't imagine people buying these unless they really like simulators with money to burn.

Google Earth was more fun to zoom around in than pretty much any game we got.

Wish I made enough money to pay off people so I can commit fraud with zero repercussions.

How do they even know that these wagers are going on?

How much do you wanna bet?

Yes, but how?

It's the title of their stream usually. Same for Warzone. A Large number of players do this as a whole other source of income. Plus there are entire websites and discords dedicated to meeting people to make these wagers.

Score one for common sense. Always better for the world when an extremist left-wing witch hunt fails.

What an interesting alternate reality you live in. There's nothing "left-wing" about making or investigating an allegation of sexual harassment. Everything here seems perfectly reasonable - an allegation was made, it was investigated and no further action will be taken due to a lack of evidence, with the door left open should further evidence be made available.

The way you try to relate everything to politics is extremely toxic.

Your best bet is to put him on ignore like most of the posters here do as pretty much everything he says are false equivalents, wild hot takes, or just plain asinine.

Maybe the fact I drove 5 minutes and saw over 30 people paying attention to their phone instead of actually driving, one of which was a police officer, is the reason behind the spikes.

Been doing my part every time I see them. Glad to know Square is doing something. Unlike some other MMOs I've played.

lol, this game peaks at like 20k users, of course they can easily go after abusers.

No MMO available on Steam is fully represented by those stats, they all have their own launchers that the majority of people use directly. From what I've seen, they have somewhere in the range of 1-2 million active subscriptions out of their 25M+ total accounts.

Active subs do not mean actual players on at a given time. That 25mil+ is accounts ever created, not active players.

Good. Back in the early Medal of Honor/CoD/Battlefield days everyone bitched about how tired WWII as a setting was getting, as we'd seen nothing else in three years.

Instead we got 15 years of 'modern.'

Do you not play video games? Because I'm pretty sure BF1 and BF5 gave us nothing but ww2 for the last 5 years.

Battlefield 1 was set in WW1, dude.

lol, their dlc went directly into ww2 and was even titled as such

DICE LA got fucked pretty hard by the shitty gamer community who universally panned their only other battlefield game: "Battlefield: Hardline", which was so far the biggest departure from the Battlefield formula ever (besides the weird browser-based F2P "Battlefield: Heroes")

They said it was "just a reskin" "just a mod" and "cookie-cutter". Meanwhile there was exactly zero complaints between Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, which had the same factions, theme, guns, modes etc. etc. etc.

I heard all the same complaints with 2142, that it was just a reskin of BF2. Never mind the totally new and different theme, factions, settings, maps, modes, models, vehicles, guns, and abilities. Same as Hardline. If you've never seen it, find a trailer, it's cops and robbers Battlefield with a GTA twist.

Hardline is the most underrated Battlefield in recent memory. DICE LA knocked it out of the park, that game was fun as fuck. Looking forward to their next installment.

But I'm most interested in what DICE Stockholm are up to, Star Wars Battlefront 3 perhaps?

Don't know anyone who was around from the start who enjoyed the series after bf3. Hardline was literally the worst thing they ever released. Ever. 2142 was heralded as one of their best games after bf2 and the last thing I ever heard someone say is that it was a reskin. If you go to the bf reddit people have been hoping and praying this release is a rehash of 2142 since November 2019 when the news of a new game coming out in 2021 originally broke.

Dice as a company in general have let gamers down for the last 10 years. No idea what you're on about but you have no clue.

lol, that's not a perk. if the government wanted to be assholes they could hit you with tax evasion unless you claim this purchase on your taxes.

unless you live in a state without it...

Still patiently waiting for Mech5 and SnowRunner to go non-exclusive.

I do not and will not ever support these tactics.

Yeah, give me 2 of them pitch forks, one for each hand.

Just like Sony has its paid third party exclusives. And Microsoft. And Walmart. And Target. I hope you're boycotting all of them as well.

It isn't as simple as your blanket statement makes it out to be no matter how much snark you add.

Walmart and target pay whoever to produce whatever said exclusive item is. This is how retail works. This is also how inhouse exclusives work for consoles. A company is paid to do direct work for something for that specific platform. Epic pays them to not sell it anywhere else even after it was promised to sell elsewhere and already created. This is how greedy fucks do business in an attempt to stifle competition and grow their own store.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the latter is in fact anti-consumer by removing the choice you once had. There was never a choice with the exclusive in retail or on console as this is how it was planned from the start. It's just made to seem more important because the average consumer is stupid and easily sold on such minor things.

At this rate, they won't be done even a year from now. LOL

If you'd have seen the roadmap, they already had 3 hotfixes that adressed the most serious issues right after release. Patch 1.1 was delivered as expected by said roadmap, patch 1.2 will roll out shortly after. From there on there will be several free DLCs and later on in the ear a Next-Gen console update. IDK what you mean with 1 out of 9, but from the patch notes they mention multiple crash and instability issues being fixed with 1.1.

lol, did you just defend them for making a roadmap agreeing to his point entirely that the game came out a year early?

When you had to manually download 3-4 patches on GamesPlanet......
Then configure Gamespy or AllSeeingEye.........

Nope.

Literally 100x times better than what goes on today. DRM in every piece of software you use, 12 different launchers to play the same game. Plus the point of being able to choose your server instead of being pushed into a server with a bad ping.

I looked up 'exaggeration' via an online dictionary, and I ended up here.

I looked up douche and ended up here. Nothing I said is even close to an exaggeration.
