Tbh, I didn’t even look at the game itself, I was too distracted by the title.


Am I the only one bothered by the half of an acronym? Like either call it sci-fa or science-fantasy…

Why even shorten the science at that point?



ah, wasn’t aware of that one. I never was a fan of Blizzard, back when they were in their hayday, I was mostly a console kid. I didn’t really get into pc games until late into XP era, and even then our family didn’t have that much money, so I rarely got new games… And when I was able to upgrade to a win7 machine, several years into its existence, Blizzard already had a somewhat tarnished reputation and I wasn’t really interested in their games anyway…


That’s optimistic thinking about OW2, people clearly wanted OW1 to continue.


Maybe in the past, but these days they are pushing hard to get people to use their stuff and to keep using it. They’re not google who throw shit at the wall and see what sticks…


I hope the Fallout and Final Fantasy wikies also migrate out from fandom. Back when they were wikia, they were a lot better. It feels that the search function on fandom is so bad that half the time you’re better off going on google and slapping your search there instead.


I admit, all of my fandom.com experience is post wikia-buyout, but just after they bought wikia and before every wikia.com became a fandom.com site, it was still good.


This isn’t about Mojang. This is about a wiki that is mostly maintained by fans but endorsed by Mojang as the official wiki. If MS tries to force some bullshit Teams or SP solution via Mojang and official branding, the fans will likely abandon it in favor of an unofficial one not hogtied to some BS MS ecosystem.


I’m hoping fallout does as well. Ever since the two fallout wiki merged, I feel like the experience of looking for info on the wiki has been hobbled by fandom.
