I agree with this. Overwatch 2 is FOMO galore. It stressed me out.

With Overwatch 1, most content came back later, with exceptions for the charity skin and a few small things.

I honestly don’t assume anything about his role at Blizzard. His nickname was with Afrasiabi’s on a World of Warcraft item. Also, on the game development side, the Overwatch leadership team’s misguided obsession with making Overwatch into a MMO has significantly hampered the evolution of the game.

Anyway, better to avoid parasocial stuff regardless. I liked his updates and videos, and that’s it.

The article mentions all that, but it seems that no one has read it.

The article clearly says they use the shorthand “DND” for their article. The fact that’s it’s “DND” and not D&D is likely due to the fact that it’s a chinese publication and also maybe a stylistic choice.

Speed Daily exclusively learned that the American toy company Hasbro is seeking to sell its well-known IP “Dungeons & Dragons” (referred to as “DND” below), and Tencent is one of the potential buyers.

Minority share. Tencent does that a lot. Helps them get a foot in the door for later full acquisitions or potential deals such as the one here.

Well, they tried new gimmicks! Like the Dream World, which was closed two years later. And, uh… that step counter.

It’s actually been one of his catchphrases to dogwhistle fascist stuff. He just answers “Concerning.” to fake news, exaggerations or other dishonest stuff. Then he can deny he agrees or that he truly believed it. After all, he just wrote “Concerning”!

Hell, I’m sure most inside the company disagree. If I remember correctly, accessibility teams at Xbox had events planned and were caught flat-footed when the news came out.

I’ve also been sick for nearly a year following a viral infection, though nothing wrong was found with my heart, so far. I’ll buy the game in solidarity, it was already on my wishlist anyway.

It’s unsurprising, particularly the lateral move to DECA Games. It was an easy target for Embraced to cut costs, plus their last game was cancelled before release (Magic: Legends). It seems like the Cryptic engine would require a large investment to be used for new games, but I might be wrong.

Still frustrating, I’m certain those devs didn’t deserve to be laid off. Seems they cut senior devs too.

There were just so, so many mistakes. Avoidable ones too. The pandemic was unavoidable, but the structure of the League made it more difficult to get through.

The thing is, it’s pretty much Activision Blizzard’s fault here. They destroyed the grassroots competitive scene to make way for the Overwatch League, but that took a bit more than a year. They could’ve found a way to integrate the existing scene instead. And that was just the start of the League. The game itself was mismanaged with the sequel taking way too long and being misunderstood (with good reason).

There were some many mistakes with the Overwatch League, that I don’t think we can use it to generalize that much. ESports was a bubble though, no doubt.

Let’s take back the means of waifus!

Best comment here. Either exec (with overconfidence or deadlines), or security violation seem most likely. Surprising that it’s for both platforms though…
